Most impressive! I particularly like the way the mobile rigs are mounted. Ultra clean, yet easy to remove for replacement/repair. This is top shelf engineering from every detail. Thank you Josh for this great walkthrough and interview. 73 OM
Thanks for the video!!! What see there is the end result of a TREMENDOUS amount of behind the scenes work in terms of organization, funding and engagement to make it a reality. A lot of people outside of government fail to realize just how challenging and difficult it can be for stakeholders in the first responder community to get traction for resources like these to where it becomes material reality. Every jurisdiction is different, some decision makers see the value in this kind of effort, others ignore it. Kudos to the San Ramon Valley first responders for making this happen!
Had a great chat with them and beyond what they do I was impressed on how they engage and get local government to see the value and support them... San Jose (nearby) tells volunteer's (and CERT) they want our support but nothing is really done to prepare. Staff recently told us in September "well in a real emergency that overwhelms us, we would just get state and federal help" I wonder if they would say the same thing this month 🤷
WOW! Makes the old WWI ambulance we converted to a comm rig look primitive! And we had police/fire/EMS radios on top of the ham rigs... nothing this nice though! If we needed to pee it was go find a bush!

The Huel reference... Guest says description, Huel repeats description back to guest, but as a question ... Ye, you nailed it bro, pulled a Howzer

3:14 I bet it cost many bands too 😂
Very comprehensive. Most comm centers do not have all that.
Meh.
For real though that is amazing!
Wow that's the old mobile EmComm setup?! 😅😅 That amazing! Can't imagine what the new one will be like.
Jelly.
No joke right?
Is this item still for sale? Wait? This isn't Facebook Marketplace?
