What is on the dashboard?

I was rewatching the scene with Winston and Ray talking about the end of the world in the first movie, and I'm wondering. Can anyone tell what is on the dashboard in front of Ray? He reaches for a can of Coke and it looks like a computer unit and something that looks like its a blue flasher like on the roof infront of the light bar but I know its not a light.

Any ideas on what that is?

The drink can looks silver-ish with a red design…mom thought it was Royal Crown cola.

ETA: It's an old Michelob beer can.

IIRC, if it's right infront of Ray… He puts his blueprints/schematics on the dash doesn't he? If you are talking abuot the roundish black object infront of the driver's seat that has the bevelled edges then I have no idea what it is either! Never thought of a use for it…

Radio panel maybe? To me it looked like the housing for a GPS of sorts…possibly a mobile PKE meter for tracking big stuff?

The box directly in front of Ray is a radio scanner…

To the right of that, is Ray's can of Michelob…

To the right of the can is a dummy antenna/load (used for calibrating radio equipment as I recall)…

And to the right of the dummy load is a pack of cigarettes.

Not sure what's sitting on top of the radio scanner… It might also be a dummy load, just a different type/model.
