Re: the car ...
Looks really good with the antenna's on the ute, very nice
Im looking at getting one of those PRM80's aswell for UHF they seem like a pretty decent radio.

Re: the car ...
yeah no real problems ,,, i spoke to my auto elec about it , ,,, the ute still has the spot for the second battery , from its former life as an ambulance , so i was going to have a second one installed just for the radio gear etc ,,Hey mate, how does the car go powering all them? Running a dual battery system or just off the one battery or what??
as most of the radios are drawing minimal current the draw is not that much , although i do have to change alternators every 18 months , and have a pretty heavy battery ,
its strains it a bit , if they are all left on for long periods of time , with out having the motor running ,
i have also included /installed a heavy duty power cable and distribution set up since these were taken ,
when i get a chance , i will take some updated shots and post them up it has been changed around quiet a bit ,,,
