Radios
I own more radios than I thought I did, but I guess you can never have too many radios. I started with VHF/UHF as any technician would and then purchased one of the best sounding rigs I’ve heard to date.
- Baofeng RD-5R — A DMR HT that I am using to test a multi-mode digital gateway project I am working on.
- Baofeng UV-5R EX — My first HT. Gets me on the air, hits local repeaters.
- Baofeng UV-5R Plus — Yet another Baofeng. Yes, they’re cheap.
- Kenwood TK-790 — Old, but trusty. I got this for VHF packet access with a TNC.
- Kenwood TK-880 — Because a guy can’t have too many Kenwood radios.
- Kenwood TM-261A (v1) — Purchased for an APRS digipeater project.
- Kenwood TM-261A (v2) — Bought a second one and came with a custom TNC
- Kenwood TS-50S (v1) — [SOLD] HF rig which I bought from Japane. Battery and TCXO upgraded. Recapped.
- Kenwood TS-50S (v2) — HF rig which I bought from Japan. Battery and TCXO upgraded. Recapped.
- Kenwood TS-850S — Solid Kenwood radio. TCXO upgraded, got WAS on 100W barefoot with this one.
- QYT KT-8900D — Dual band base station from a fellow ham. Slow TX/RX but reliable.
- Xiegu G1M — QRP Xiegu quad-band HF (80m/40m/20m/15m)
- Yaesu FT-2700RH — Gift from a fellow ham. VHF/UHF radio used for APRS and packet.
- Yaesu FTM-400DR — [DEAD] Repaired once, then connected the PowerPoles backwards.
- Yaesu FTM-400XDR — Another Yaesu, and not trusting the factory service on this one.
- Yaesu FTM-7250DR — My first mobile rig. Dual band, C4FM and Wires-X capable.
