Shack Showcase Tis VK2HSV's Meager Station Set-up
Tis VK2HSV's Meager Station Set-up I started out with just a Yaesu FT-1500m 2mtr and an Icom IC-400Pro UHF CB, but that was pre License days. Since I obtained my License in Jan this year, I have upgraded a wee bit since. I had a Yaesu FT-102 and a Kenwood TS-520S, which have passed on. I now have what I think is a meager set-up, but some of you may disagree. The shack now consists of the following : Icom IC-706MKiiG HF/VHF/UHF matched to a LDG AT-11MP Auto Tuner & this is connected to a G5RV multiband Antenna thru a Diamond CX-310A 3-way switch, A Alinco DR-610 2m/70 Dual Bander connected to a Diamond X-50 2m/70cm Antenna, A Icom IC-251A 2m All Mode connected to a Diamond X-200 thru a Diamond CX-210A 2 Way Switch, A Icom Ic-740 HF matched with a MFJ MFJ-949E Manual Tuner connected to the G5RV thru the CX-310A 3-way Switch, A Yaesu FT-767GX HF/2m/70cm/6m connected to the G5RV thru the CX-310A 3-way Switch also to the Diamond X-200 2m/70cm Antenna. I also have a LogiKit SCAF- 1 Filter which I use when I have some really weak signals, bloody great little gadget. My dream is getting my little hands on a FT-1000D & a FT DX-9000MP, and then I can say I have a station, until then I am satisfied with my current set-up.
