Does anyone have any close up pictures of LA County's Battalion vehicles? I would love to see a close up of the 7 XTL5000 I see mounted in the back. Right now I count 11 antennas on the top of the roof.

That's just for the battalion chief... not for interop... they have command units for that...

We are currently building one that has 10 antennas on the roof. 3 UHF, 1 VHF, 1 800, 1 UHF band VRM, 1 GPS, 1 TV Tuner antenna and two spares.

Just finished one with the same amount of antennas but one additional radio

Nothing like turning a brand new vehicle into Swiss cheese with all of the holes!!!

Hadn't seen that video before, thanks for posting. Nice to see someone else uses chief's aides.
