Radios

  • HF TRX:
    • Icom IC-746 (non-Pro) – the daily driver.
    • Icom IC-735 – purchased by me in ’02, the backup and IMO better HF rig.
    • Heathkit HW100 – needs a partial re-tube but a wonderful hot bucket of bottles.
    • Yaesu FT-301SD – partially working, on the bench lately, a cool 10 watt rig.
    • Kenwood TS-520 – again needs the bottles,  but RX is a joy.
    • Realistic HTX-10 – believe it or not this gets a fair bit of use between FT8 and 28.400
  • 6m TRX:
    • (the aforementioned) IC-746. Main pistole right now.
    • Heathkit SB101 – this is SO COOL. Receiver is great, spits the watts like it should, great vibe.
  • 2m all-mode:
    • IC-746 again. What can I say, 100 watts!
    • Icom IC-271A – Wonderful clean rig that i’ve had for many years and done several repairs on. I’ll never ditch it.
  • 70cm all-mode:
    • Icom IC-475A. Got a super hot deal on this years ago and it proved to be worth every penny.
