Okay,what radios do you own?

woody_461 · Feb 2, 2005

This is not a contest BTW.Just curious...will be interesting to see what people are using,there are so many radio choices. I saw one guy here had about 23 radios... :shock:

In my quest for a good HF receiver I have the following:RS DX392,RS DX440,Icom R8500,Icom R75,Think I'm done for time being.

In my quest to keep up with the trunking formats have RS 2045 (no good,just CTCSS).Optotrakker for Icom R8500(no good,doesn't work with XP,slow decoding,scanning).RS 2050(no good,only trunks one MOT system at a time).Optocom(no good for digital,but awesome receiver).Looking at RS 2096,now,LOL!

Yes,I did go bankrupt (starting over again)LOL!.
