Shack Showcase AL4T Shack and
AL4T Shack and Here is my shack set up for deploying to Afghanistan last year. I'm an Infantryman with the Army's 82d Airborne Division. FT-1000MP Mk V, Heath SB-1000, Dentron tuner, etc. Unfortunately was not able to get an Afghan ticket while I was there. The lab holds a pair of Tek 4-channel scopes (2246 and 2465's), a Wavetek 164 30 MHz Sweep Generator, and a bunch of HP gear - 8640B Sig Gen; 8405A Vector Voltmeter (measures phase); 339A Audio Distortion Meter; 3468B VOM; 6255 Power supply (also have a 6253 under the bench); 5328A 500 MHz Freq. counter, with another under the bench I'm hooking up to be disciplined by a GPS clock; a borrowed (Thanks Kelly, N4EWG) Anritsu 2 GHz Spectrum Analyzer; a Tek 1220 Logic Analyzer for my PIC programming pleasure; AADE LC II Inductance/Capacitance meter; ESR Cap. meter, WES-51 soldering station; Power Meter from Kanga; a still-in-progress 2-tone generator from the Handbook; and a bunch of little bits and projects that hang around a workbench. Lots of fun here!
