Sorry, yes, it is a 32 channel.

Thanks. What is the difference, just so I have an idea of what I'm looking at on the Bay.

Very sorry if this was answered previously on here, but the search didn't yield the results I need. Thinking of buying a used MT1000 in VHF-Low. This is for my part-time job's area. The deal is good, and I think I found a convertacom for it already. Will the MT1000 do MDC1200, and will it do Select-...

XL domes are all the same size. The dome is also the same for the center, just with the addition of dual metal plates on the ends, as opposed to an end cap lens.

Now that we have the Rumbler on the new truck, I like it. It definately makes people pay attention to you. Inside the ambulance (a Chevy 4500 LifeLine) is remarkably quiet, even with both sirens and the rumbler in operation.

I know most 2100's dont have head sync capability, but I believe that patterns on the individual heads are changeable. My thought would be to change up the patterns on the heads to avoid dark time.

I don't knock anything till I try it. I'd love to seriously thrash a Sprinter and see what it can really do. I have heard nightmares, as well as love stories. I hope Ford can fix it's issues, but I understand nothing is forever.

Sprinter in a J-turn? I'm there!!!

The E series is not "going away". There's the possibility in the 2008 model, which will be a totally redesigned chassis, that the older 6.0 diesel will be ressurected. Chevy 4500. Nuff said. Unfortunately, there isn't the production capability at Chevy to meet the damand, as yet. Maintain ...

I even have the FedSig catalog for the s**t in my car!

Gimme the chance, there'd be a sealed-beam XL9000 on my roof.

Sportin the old skool Federal Fireball II rotator with mirror on my Expedition. It's slow, but it rocks!

MK4412

Hosed my Edge with pressure washer and no problems in years.

On the Jeffersonville truck, I love the Per-Lux fog lights! Classic!

Educate yourselves on the chassis issue with Ford through your ambulance dealer, or through a Ford dealer. Are you sure the only thing with that will fit is a Ford? What headroom are you using? (68 or 72"?) A Chevrolet 4500HD in 2 wheel drive with 68"headroom is only 1 inch taller than our...

Don't be too over-zealous in drilling. Be careful, and go slowly. I have had cracked housings, which isn't fun. In agreement, I prefer the flange mount. Higher power handling, less fall-outs, and less leakage. A couple extra steps in installation, but I think it's worth it.

MK4412

Just ordered one on the new ambulance at work, cost = around 6-700. Should be interesting. The chief had a big woody when he came back from our dealer, so who knows. Can't wait to try it in city traffic.

I have noted that in some older code 3 sirens, the amp board can almost sound like it's going thru puberty. This was especially true with older SVP sirens. I am used to the Code 3 wail, but what you report may be an amp board issue. Code 3 Tech Support could run the serial and tell when the unit was...

Like that?

Nice unit. Good luck with it.

A favorite slogan from a company north of me:

"Professional services from volunteer forces"

Code 3 for rotator/halogen, Whelen for LED and strobe!

MK4412

Sho(Blo)-Me makesa decent led-strobe mini-bar now. Chief at work has one, and it's nasty. Front, rear, and side LED panels with 2 strobe heads in the center. 2 V mirrors direct the strobe front and rear from behind the side LED heads. http://www.able2products.com/Update/11_1230.htm A multitude of co...

In reference to the patterns / head synch, I thought I was the only one who thought that. It's terrible. Would reccomend the LFL series from Whelen. BLINDING, even in bright sunlight!

MK4412

Old skool. Federal Fireball II.

MK4412

Try just about any emergency vehicle dealer. Look on a mfr's web site, and search dealers. Try Pierce, E-1, Wheeled Coach, Life Line Ambulances, etc.

Apcor! Thats it. Mfire39, yes, kinda like a biophone from Squad 51.

I'm sure this will be obvious and easy for someone on here. I am looking for info on a radio that Motorola made, probably 15-20 years ago. It was a med radio, looked like a suitcase-briefcase, and I want to think it was a Micor. The one my company had was in a white case. Any info or pics? I didn't ...

MK4412

Dale, sounds like you dabble in the vintage lighting...

Might you have anything for the Code 3 SD2000 lightbar? I've always wanted to put one of those on my truck, just to annoy my chief. (He's a big Code 3 freak)

MK4412

Yeah. Sorry, Jantman. I think I can speak for most here, and say that if you are looking for suggestions on improvement, you will find it here. PM me, and I'd be happy to help. Unfortunately though, the pics do provoke the ribbing!

I love the console. I just wanted to know if I had exhausted all the "OTC" resources before removing my factory console, and designing a custom. In the Exped. pictured on the link above, does your area under the armrest accommodate the CD changer? Also, did the factory unit have the rear c...

I have a 1998 Ford Expedition, with the full center console, and rear heat / AC blower. Has anyone seen a console that will fit in it's place, and still have the factory blower and stereo controls? I have a siren and a M1225 cut into the foreward storage pocket now, and really don't like it. Ergonom...

MK4412

Another option, instead of diabling the siren function, may be to find a different switch panel, like a Federal SW400, (slide switch with 4 rocker switches), or a Code 3 V-Con Halfpack, which is only about an inch tall, and has a terminal strip in the back - instead of flying leads. The Code 3 has a...

MK4412

I just re-viewed the pics again, and I am speechless. I hope that you do not use these as a pictoral resume' to work at a communications installer, or emergency vehicle dealership. You and your vehicle (poor Jeep, I feel for it) need help. 1. Please clean out all your crap before you take pictures. ...

Holy shat! I now know my worst has never been THE worst!

I usually don't calculate the draw on a HF, due to it just flashing lights that are factory, but add a few amps to the total.

MK4412

I wouldn't have ruined the car above with a lightbar. I think a slicktop setup would have been bad-a$$ed! Love the black rims!

MK4412

Another common thing that Jay G. said was isolating the left and right headlights. otherwise, the flasher will get really confused, and try to flash and override itself at the same time. I usually use the Code-3 7 series flashers, as they can be easily replaced or removed if neccessary. they have ex...

MK4412

Rule of thumb that I use in specing ambulances is 4.5 amps for each motor/bulb combination, given a 50-55 watt bulb. Each pair of flashers usually uses 1.5-2.5 amps, depending on incandescent or halogen bulb, respectively. Arrowstik, 4-8 amps, figure around 8 when all lights are lit. depends, too, o...
