My shack was a work in progress for a long time! Finally made the changes / additions that I needed to make to get it the way I want. I can now monitor anything that can be legally monitored in my listening area. It took me a while and a lot of patience but this is the final product. My newest toys are the 2 HT-1550XLS portables, which replaced my older HT1250s. They are fully refurbished with brand new batteries (2014 date code) and F.P.P. permanently enabled WITHOUT the need for a special red battery. I also added an Icom IC-M504 marine radio ( mic disabled ) to monitor all the local marine traffic. The speakers are ALL 4 inch cobra brand, instead of the mixed brands I had before. The only exception is the Icom speaker for the IC-7000 which came with the radio when I purchased it. My next project now is finding a way to power this shack from an external source. 12V car battery perhaps, I havent really looked into it. I want to enjoy my shack a little bit! LOL
