I found one of these in a closet that I "inherited" with my position. Working with the company now to get current cables for MOTO APX and the BKR 5k/9k. Couldn't find on the website but they do make them. Just took a phone call. They are super nice and helpful folks. Looking forward to getting this deployable!
In the mid-2000s I was assigned a car with an ICRI in the trunk. I had forgotten all about it until I stumbled onto your video. I posted a couple of pics at the bottom of my QRZ page if you're interested. 73
That's really awesome! Thanks for posting the photos of your installation. What was your opinion of it? Did it work as it should? My sister was born in Galveston when my dad was training at UTMB and the shriners hospital burn center.
@@AdventureCruiser We bought about a dozen ICRI units with all but the one in the car being in Pelican cases like yours. They were distributed to various police substations across the city. The fire department may have had some also, but I don't remember. The hardwired units (ACU-1000, etc) were obviously the better option, but those required specialized training, more expensive, etc. The Crown Vic was assigned to myself and two other officers with the purpose of having immediate availability. Most of what we ended up doing was coordinating with the fire department at major fire scenes. We set one of the ICRI units up at the 2006 NBA Allstar Game in the upper "catwalk" structure of the Toyota Center in Houston. It was to link FBI SWAT and Houston SWAT who were providing overwatch for the event. Other than that event, I'm not sure if any of the ICRIs were used. If you search "preston moore icom repeater" there is a document I wrote that I guess was captured by Scribd. Toward the bottom there is a pic showing the ICRI deployed at the Allstar Game. Have a good one!

Now thats a cool piece of kit
How did you work around the ID announcement from the machine?
Been trying to figure this out for days. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Pretty cool device!!
This would’ve worked perfect for Secret Service and Butler
very nice😎
Do you mind I send this to some congressmen
I don’t mind at all.
@@AdventureCruiser thank you!
Early version of a JPS ACU..
Would you be interested in selling your ICRI?
I’d consider it, what are your thoughts?
Does the company still make this?
@@firefighterLTP they make a newer version, but yes they do.
