That would be the thing you use to receive a signal

it looks to be a 6db - 477Mhz, but could be wrong , you cantt see the whole antenna

sorry guys. I was joking im not getting rid of it.
The antenna is a 4.5Db 477mhz.

to such rubbish

Gday everyone, im also new and i hope that i get attacked by trolls aswell.

Thankyou. BTW, im an ex VBFB as well. (not)

Bye.

I would start by making your signature way, way, way smaller

I realise this was mainly for members own radio shacks, but would it be OK if people posted pics of radio gear from comm centres or vehicles other than their own - eg WAPOL / FESA / SJA / SES / Volunteer Sea Rescue / Freo Port Authority / JOTA / Newsrooms / Aircraft etc etc ?

That's sad, despite working in IT it took me a moment to get the bottom scanner, then again, I don't have to work with those types of scanners. I was just a little bit confused as to why an imaging company was making a radio scanner...then it clicked

Sweet looking units....on which band do they operate? and what do you use them for?

I believe the handheld is a Motorola XTS5000

He could run various bands here is some more info

The Motorola XTS 5000 portable radio is designed to offer multiple frequency band solutions for perfect system optimization in congested urban areas or wider country regions. Motorola currently offers the 700/800 MHz dual band (764-870MHz), the VHF band (136-174 MHz), UHF Range 1 band (380-470 MHz), and UHF Range 2 band (450-520 MHz).

what is the model number for the Mobile radio?

For what it's worth, some stuff at work.

A) 5 x 900 MHz yagis (with attenuators - the portable devices at the other end could be as close as 15 metres away. They tend to get drowned out at full power). Vertical polarised to match the portables.

B) 6 RFI 9256 900 MHz frequency-hopping radio modems running at 19,200 baud (the attached equipment is slowish) one spare for Justin. Interface boards eventually result in USB that feeds a Mac PowerPC dual CPU with OSX 10.4.x and 22" widescreen (mmm widescreen). Each RFI talks to 3 portable devices.

C) Closer





All made in Malaga and sold world-wide. This stuff is also used in V8 supercars

Thanks robbage, very interesting.

All I gotta do now is save up for enough RG-213 to goo all the way back to the house. At the moment I can listen to the scanner on the back verandah, which is quite pleasant in this weather.

(Thanks for hosting the pic Gavin!)

Where can you buy these diamond antennas in perth? im trying to find a dealer in perth that is for amature radio dualband for 2m and 70cm bands.
