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.
Kenwood TS-50S
Secondary HF rig. Bought from Japan, untouched inside. TCXO upgraded.
BaoFeng UV-5R EX
My first HT. Gets me on the air, hits local repeaters.
Kenwood TS-850S
My main HF rig. 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.
Yaesu FT-2700RH
Gift from a fellow ham. VHF rig paired with the NucleoTNC for APRS and packet.
Yaesu FTM-400DR
RIP. Repaired once, then connected the PowerPoles backwards. Gone.
Yaesu FTM-7250DR
My first mobile rig. Dual band, C4FM and Wires-X capable.
