Interesting to see that they still have [and being made] vehicles with peanut lights.
I've closed the door!

You can also see that they have one of the newer style radars mounted on the dash too.

Interesting antennas on FK201 - HF, UHF (WAPOL UHF), 800Mhz glassmount (TADIS or mobile?), and a VHF whip (probably FRS).

Well it has a TADIS screen in it
"VKI, NJ050 will you be attending the job?"
"Negative VKI, my desk is bolted to the floor".

No the stainless steel whips on the codan hf auto tuner are not the same as the vhf.
1x800mhz antenna = gps tracking only ( for metro)
2x800mhz antenna = tadis/tadis light and vehicle tracking ( metro)
Because the country vehicles use tadis light through the telstra next g network (and are not gps tracked) only need 1 800mhz antenna
(Gps antenna usually located on back parcel shelf or dash board)

Tadis lite = hand held tadis unit...
In the bush we use the full Tadis in the vehicles... Also we are very much gps tracked..
Country vehicles can be/are pinged on AVL

Thanks for the pictures. The picture of the station brings back some fond childhood memories; my Dad was an Ambo in a small town in QLD. There's something about small town stations that I like.
On a side note, I misread "TADIS" initially. I thought this thread was diverging into the realm of Doctor Who.
