- ICOM IC-7600
- This ICOM IC-7600 is my preferred HF radio as it has spectrum scope.
I do some out of Amateur band SWLing and the scope is great for this.
This radio has a SP-5 Yaesu speaker complete with the phone patch (some day I may even use it).
This radio is setup for soundcard modes.
It is also setup for CFARS (MARS) digital modes.
The microphone is a boom MIC I reclaimed from my audio P.A. servicing days.
It is a typical hand held dynamic MIC that a singer might use and it is mounted on a old flexible lamp mount.
- HF / VHF /UHF all mode Mobile radio
- The mobile is an IC 7100 complete with an old LDG antenna tuner.
The antenna is a modified hustler with a set of different coils,
I also have several methods of increasing the length to improve radiation when stopped
- VHF/UHF radios
- I also have a Kenwood 710D in the Mobile for VHF/UHF and APRS.

- The VL-1000 has modified for CFARS (MARS) and is my primiary Amp.
It is currently connected to the IC-7600

- AlfaSpid, RAK antenna rotator
- The HF rotator is mounted in the lower part of the tower
to reduce the torque on the upper part of the tower.
The controller is connected to a computer via an RS232C port.
The unit has a mouse for quick selection of the presets.
