    MInitor VI (Yes, it is the 6!)

    Various inside Motorola folks are bringing the lowband or lack thereof in the VI to upper management.Quite a few dealers had the same response as mine. WTF?

    MInitor VI (Yes, it is the 6!)

    True! About 15-20% of our pager orders are 33mhz-46mhz.Quite a few are the basic model.Offering Unication G1 in lowband at $456 each will tough compared to $370 for the V.Suffolk and Nassau counties on Long Island are still paged on 46mhz.I am glad Motorola also offered a non FM model on the...

    Mobile Repeater Systems

    see if you can find a higher gain antenna,they are taller and see if that helps any.So many different factors effect coverage so its hard to pin it down without testing a few options.We have a local bus transit company who was using 1/4 wave vhf on the buses.Cleared up some of the dead spots on...

    Radio from GE big and taking to much room

    I did sell a few ,they were lowband 46mhz 100watts.Similar to Motorola Mara Tracs but more features.The shipping charges was the deal killer.A broker guy down in NJ bought a pile of them and sold them to Chinese Firms in Libya working on pipelines. Your local Harris dealer can give a real value...

    2013 Chevy Tahoe - Milford F.D.

    is that Vehicle Specific console for 2013 tahoe? Also ,the mic brackets and clips are not install yet right? :) Looks good and I kind like the small agency ID lettering on the front side.But have to agree a FD logo or crest on door would add some oompah. Nice anyhow!

    minitor 5 charger rarely works.

    and make sure that your charger contacts on bottom of pager are not gunked up.See this all the time. 1. check for gunk,clean up gunk 2.try new battery in different chargers 3.still not charging,send into factory,rarity but it happens

    what antenna do i need

    List on NAD6502 is $11.75 each, best to just find a dealer in your area.Dont fall for the $8 ebay specials from china ,they are junk,bad connectors, bad antenna coil wraps and shoddy fits.Spend the extra $3

    Hey GO RHINO; how do I fix, replace, and prevent this from moving?

    yikes! Never seen that before around here.But then again it is mostly Pro Gard stuff around here.Looks fixable.I always thought of Go Rhino stuff as for commercial POV vehicles. Good luck!

    radio frequency types

    I explain narrowband to fire types as this. You have been using radio voice traffic on 5" supply line for years and now the FCC wants you to only use 2.5" hand line Voice quality and range is your water and you are losing both in the end. :)

    Marine lighting?

    This Rescue Boat only has a mini blue bar and 2 work lights that can double as area lights.We took into consideration too much lighting is not really needed.80% of the calls for this boat are Dive and Rescue and 10% events on water and 10% brush fires /boat fires.It can go places in the rivers...

    Marine lighting?

    more photos to be added,most everything is mounted,today is finish day for running wires,power and siren cables. The "free" enclosure for the radio and siren amp is a bit disappointing.

    Selecting Antennas for multiple mobile radios??

    to find your frequencies go to Westchester County, New York (NY) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference be careful, some of the UHF stuff gets up in 470mhz range and even into 490mhz also it is best to find out which radio vendor you buy radios from as they can assist in correct...

    Selecting Antennas for multiple mobile radios??

    If you are in Long Island for any 800mhz on the XTL you can use the short antennas that are standard.I have had luck with the "coffee mug" type of low profile antennas in most cases. Laird brand 3.5" UHF Phantoms are decent and you still get some much needed gain on some of the...
