We still have it too...what's everyone else use?

Quote:whats its used for? Although I think the old school looks kind of coolIt's the radio microphone. It allows the officer to hold it to his ear to hear better in the loud apparatus environment. The older rigs with Micors muted the rig speaker when it was picked up. I remember riding with E301 when we were 2nd due to a call where the first due had called a 10-75-the officer would bang on the partition to let the guys know they were going to work. I don't know if it still mutes, but the MCT has a display in the back, so I don't know if that tradition is still in practice.

But you know the fire service, old traditions either die hard, or don't die at all!

I moved the speaker to the middle of our engines, ontop of the AC/Heater on our HME's......made things alot better for everyone to hear

I was assigned a 2015 F-150 and I included these in the specifications. I was told that Motorola has discontinued this particular model so we got them off of eBay from a radio shop that still has hundreds. The red stripe goes to the red radio screen, the green stripe goes to the green radio screen. Audio from both radios can go through the external speakers for everyone to hear, or there is a mute toggle switch that will place audio in the phone handset. The ability to use these like a standard mic or use them to better hear the radio traffic has been great.

I've been seeing these pop up in the background of some other rigs' in-progress photos, since about the time they were the cab and chassis only. They have an even different type of light bar on them (the Whelen that looks like it's rotating) and the Go Light is positioned to the officer's side of the ladder now. Besides the obvious in having aluminum wheels, I think that's about the only major changes on these.
Trav!
