Many thanks everyone! :dancingbanana: Mike, I did get the switch box that you told me about. Now it looks like I'll be on the hunt for the "Spectra". Does anyone know the identity/model/number or other desiganation of that unit? Jim has a handle on the brackets so we are about to corner this beast.:thumbsup:

Again thanks everyone for the help, keep it rolling if you come up with any more equipment details.

Gregg,

Here is a better shot of the radar brackets. :)

Thanks Mike. It appears they didn't mind sacrificing the dash pad for functionality.:takenotes:

That radio control head is either an X9000 syntor head or a spectra A9 control head. Could have been either radio for that time period. I'm not sure which one they used. I will check with some people I know with motorola here since we are on the state line and Greenville SC is the adjoining county.

Ok, according to the SCHP radio shop in Blythwood SC. they used the low band (42meg) syntor x9000 during that time and also towards the end of that era they transitioned to 800 meg trunking system and used the spectras with the A7 head and some cars had both radios in them. The control head in the picture is definitly not an A7 head. Hope this helps.

It most assuredly helps! Thank you for the info and your time checking it out.:thumbsup:

Gregg,

Here is the proper bracket and configuration. In my 93 they had the swith box or radio head mounted under the radar bracket. You can also see the holes in the side of the console for the siren etc.

pic of the bracket out of the car.

Thanks Jim! The pictures give good detail to work with. :woohoo: I can see now how the mounting works with the two small braces supporting the bracket out in front of the dash. It was driving me crazy before thinking the main bracket bolted directly to the dash but there just wasen't enough clearance for the radar unit itself.

This configuration will do nicely and with the outboard short support bracket longer than the other the unit will have a slight canter toward the driver.:thumbsup:
