I am simply in awe--many thanks for sharing!

 

[N9JIG]

Looks great!

 

[737mech]

Looks awesome! Are you specific on scanning only? No ADSB? Or weather balloon tracking? Maybe INMARSAT/Iridium decoding?

I hate to think what you power bill will be each month and you have at least 15K to 20k in radios alone.. Are you living in that shack yet ?? and does your XYL know how much you spent???

 

[CKnobb]

Wow. Each shack seems more incredible than the last! Fine looking layout, and tidy. Well done! I'm still in the process of rebuilding my ham shack, complete with scanners. Get new ideas with each shack post!

 

[Firebuff66]

I do scanning, Im a Ham but don't practice at this time

As for the electric bill our solar co pays us $65 a month to lease our roof and we pay the electric co $18 a month for service, that's it

My wife would be thrilled if my monitoring room looked that nice! I'm curious, what antennas are you using?

It's on its own computer so the options are limitless I run Flight tracking sometimes, and I use DSD+ on it.
Also Movies, TV, Weather
