I have a Diamond antenna on the roof of my house as well:
I ordered mine from
Andrews Communications in NSW. They were pretty easy to deal with and the antenna was posted to me pretty securely packed which is always a good sign
The antenna cost me around $80-$100 from memory.
However, you asked for LOCAL dealers... You could try
Ham Shack. If they don't stock exactly what you're looking for, there's no harm in asking if it can be ordered in for you. The worst they can say is "No, bugger off!"

Do you use your antenna for Amature radio?
Thanks for the links Doug!

That Diamond in the pic I got from Strictly Ham in Melbourne. It had to be freighted across which added $45 to the price but that was really the only way of getting that antenna in Perth.

If you want to post pictures of equipment of the emergancy services, you need to ask thier permission first.

My gear
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?
It is a Motorola XTL 5000 w3
and ill tell ya what they are used for (im a little supprised no 1 has guessed) they are the new digital police radio's
there is also another model mobile radio which they have which looks alot better then that one.. ill see what i can do about pics.
