My HF-station:
ICOM IC-756 PROII
Using the rig on HF and as IF for my transverters. -itīs also connected to my computer witch makes it possible to run all digital modes.
My HF-station:
Kenwood TS-2000X
The station I use for 6M and 23cm -and as backup station for SSB mode on 2m & 70cm.
Equipped with the DRU-3A makes it perfect in contests.
My low cost 144MHz IF:
Icom IC-251E
This 144MHz all mode tranciever is ment to be used as IF for my DB6NT 2320MHz transverter.I have a 300W Ericssson PA for this project too, but it have to wait until my 2M PA project is finished.
My 2 meter transverter:
Elecraft XV144
I also have a XV432 for 70 cm. I use the twins for all sideband traffic on 2 meter & 70 cm.
I build the XV144 in 2006, and I was so impressed that I decided to make a XV432 in 2007
My OZ7IGY 4 meter transverter
I also have 25 W PA from the same project team.
Hope we will be allowed to raise power to 100W or more in the future.
My second low cost 144MHz IF:
Yaesu FT-290R
This 144MHz all mode tranciever is purchased to be used as IF for future transverter projects.
My mobile VHF/UHF tranciver:
Yaesu FT-8800R
I purchased this tranceiver for mobile traific, but it ended up in my shack where I use it for local FM trafic.
It can also work as cross band repeater, occasionally I use that facility to extend the range of my Yaesu VX-2 hand held tranciever.
My VHF/UHF hand held tranceiver:
Yeasu VX-2E
The VX-2 is not a high power station, but using a Diamond RH775 telescopic antenna it performes like a 5W station. -and best of all, itīs in real pocket size.
My 500W HF Power Amplifier:
Tokyo Hy-Power HL-1KFX
Used when I need some extra "push" on HF
