STORM CHASERS

Build bracket for dash GPS

The front console

Most emergency management types have governmental backing to professionally set up their vehicles
to respond to all types of emergencies. Storm chasers and volunteer fire / EMS types have to pay
for equipment out of their own pocket. This usually leads to cheap GPS pucks with wires running
everywhere and I didn't want that. I needed a minimum of 3 GPS units in the Tahoe to properly run
things: one is a dash navigator that is tied to the ham radio via a data interface. This system looks and
acts like a typical dash navigator with one very important difference doesn't just tell me where I am it
will tell YOU where I am. (go to APRS.fi and search for my callsign WX4EMT-9) If you have a similar
system it will also show me where YOU are on the navigator screen in real time. It is called APRS
Automatic Position Reporting System and is indispensable during storm chases and emergencies. The
other is a Uniden scanner that hooks to a GPS to tune in systems near you and shut off stuff you can't
hear anyway. BUT the 3rd system attaches to the on-board computer and is hands down the most
important GPS in the vehicle. This GPS provides location LAT / LON to the on-board weather data
gathering and reporting system. These real time reports are sent to National Weather Service and Storm
Prediction Center as well as to local Emergency Management. These reports must be accurate not only
in their content but in their location so that storm warnings will be accurate and save lives.

The puck system simply would not do so I opted for bulkhead mounts. I elected to use 2 US GlobalSAT
MR350P's as they are versatile, and tough. One is for SERIAL interface the other is for USB interface
and the radome / antenna housing is low profile and almost indestructible. The units mounted easily
and has a very professional low profile look. Hopefully by storm season this chase unit will be ready
to go and if severe weather is bearing down on you we can track it accurately with the
US Global SAT GPS systems so that you will be properly warned and can take action to be safe.
