| This is a view of the JoCo
emergency command truck. Notice the front top. There are two
dual band antennas. We have installed an Alinco DR 605 and it is
preprogrammed. Also, there is a Yaesu FT 2600 for phone and
packet. It will mostly serve as the packet radio. Included is a
KPC3+. On the other side of the truck for emergency communications
is a CB and two VHF JoCo Sheriff radios. There are plans for a
Kenwood HF and aircraft radio. There are two cell phones plus an
IBM lap top for packet. The rear of the command truck will have a
photo copier and printer. There are power strips for charging the
SAR radios. The search commander station has a computer for search
management. There are two VHF Sheriff antennas on the rear of the
truck. The masts are raised by cable. The purpose for a truck such
as this is because of the mountains and log roads that seem to be
everywhere. We have already had the truck out in the mountains for
use by the Sheriff’s Office, and the three days of the boat
racing event on the Rogue River this summer kept the radios going
without missing a beat!
COMMENT: Thanks Brian. What a
heavy duty rig. WOW!. Your group is to be commended for doing a
great job putting the old a "deuce-and-half" back into
service! You may have to tow a fuel trailer, but I
hope that you can bring the rig to EMCOMM 2002 for display at the
"EMCOMM 2002 MOBILE UNIT EXPO" next April. - de
