My Yaesu FT-100 is not shown (I have it in the closet - works fine, it's just not sitting out adding to the clutter). My Icom R-75 should be here Tuesday.
Pic #1: Raritan KVM on top of my gaming computer, on the left. Flat screen in middle. Clutter on the right. To the right of the keyboard is an old switch I pulled offline after discovering last week that it was generating a ton of spurious signals which hampered my scanner and HF monitoring. My PSR-500 is feeding audio to this computer, which in turn is streaming the Jefferson County Ohio MARCS stream to ScanMiamiValley.Com.
Pic 2: Shows my RS PRO-97 on top of the gaming computer. Also seen is my PSR-500 laying there to the left of my work computer amongst the clutter. The PSR-500 is connected to a PAR filter tuned to block ~190 mhz region to get rid of WTOV-9 signal swampage. From the PAR there is coax to the ouside. Miscellaneous computer parts can be seen as well as my work PC.
A PRO-90 can be seen behind (in front of) my white work computer. This scanner is feeding the Jefferson County OH PS TRS to ScanMiamiValley.com via my work computer.
Pic 3: A closeup of the junk
Pic 4: The PRO-90 on top of my Audigy 24-bit USB audio
Pic 5: My PSR-500 with the PAR on top
Pic 6: My PRO-97 - There just for S&G. It usually sits in the living room
Pic 7: Crappy switch, clutter, Linksys WRT54G, phone
Pic 8: Actual useful work office space in the adjoining room in my home office
Pic 9: Closeup of the PAR filter
Most pics share one thing in common - the clutter. I can't be productive with my equipment being up on shelves out of reach. I want it all right next to me.
Outside antennas consist of a Cushcraft 2m ARX2B omni and a Cushcraft 2m/440 antenna, each up 20 feet. They are lousy for scanning most of the bands but fairly good near their respective resonant ranges. The ARX2B is hooked up to the PSR-500. Also I have an 80m dipole up.
Of note is the fact that in the past three months I've spent no more than a few hours in either of the office rooms. I typically am doing my work from the laptop somewhere else in the house and RDPing into those machines if need be. I'm a *nix admin, so most of my work is done via a secure shell (SSH) connection to some *nix machine located off premises.
I've got two DSL connections - both 3M/512K SBC-ATT. One is used for general use of all devices in the home, and one has a static IP block and is used only by some client machines in the closet.
I didn't include a pic of four PCs I have in the closet with their associated equipment since they are all labeled with private client information that I do not care to make public
So that's it - nothing to see, but still might be entertaining for someone.
