Medha's omnidirectional DPCS antenna assemblies now make their appearance in WDM3A's 16715R and 16600R (right) which were MUed conventionally. The manufacturer's stamp (inset) calls this as a "MLRMS Antenna Assembly". Picture taken in Secunderabad Jn. (R Viswa Chandra)

can anyone confirm if this device is operational at present for pythons or any other MUed formation?

@Vishnu Nath - That red color Antenna is installed to the locomotives for wireless control of multiple unit locomotives.
It will help to eliminate the use of MU cable used between locomotives to control multiple units. The whole system is known as LOCOTROL.
It will help specially the python rakes which have locomotives in the middle of the formation.
I have seen this device from 2010 onwards on WDM3D locos, but I don't think that these antennas are in regular use as MU cable are still in wide spread use.

Initial loco monitoring system modules made by Medha used a whip-type antenna. However they feel out of favour because they were thought to infringe on the normal SOD and were replaced with this design as well. There is a MLY WDG3A pair which have the...
Initial loco monitoring system modules made by Medha used a whip-type antenna. However they feel out of favour because they were thought to infringe on the normal SOD and were replaced with this design as well. There is a MLY WDG3A pair which have the same antennae for distributed power control trials in SC-Wadi section. I wanted to confirm on what these antennae were for but there wasn't a LP/shunter nearby.
