Re: police car arials/ antennas
There is no 'set number'. The amount on antenna's is in relation to the equipment on board.
TADIS, radio, mobile phone. These are some of the usual ones on metro vehicles.

Re: police car arials/ antennas
Well there are quite a number of that can be attributed to the following on the vehicles.
- TARDIS
- Radio [music]
- Two Way Radio
- Mobile Phone
- GPS
On a side note My Vehicle has 4!

Re: police car arials/ antennas
Here are a selection of photos of WAPOL vehicles. The most I have counted is 4. However, they are not the same across the fleet, all are quite different.

Probably built into the rear window like mine, or you don't have a radio in your car.AO11912 wrote: Also my car has no Antennas, and no it doesn't have a shark fin either...
There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those who do not.

Like a radio that you can listen and talk as well? I suspect most country stations have a car or two with them.offroada99 wrote:the large one on the back, mounted on the bumper (?) i've only seen on highway patrol. That is the 2-Way.
