Yes... on this board in general, not necessarily this thread.

All you have to do is dig into some of the posts, email them, etc. to see there are those who never worked a day for their stuff.
edit
didn't realize how old this thread was

2 BC780XLTs

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!

Just recently picked up a RS 2096 on sale.I'm good now since I have digital, all the bases are covered.

I've only owned one scanner that I don't have in my possession anymore and it was a Radio Shack 4 channel crystal rig. As for what I have right now:

Regency TMR-8H: my first scanner. An 8 channel crystal radio.
Regency MX-5000 or 7000
PRO-2051
PRO-92
PRO-93
PRO-96
PRO-2006 A great radio and still in use everyday.
PRO-2067
Bearcat 210
Bearcat 300
Beacat 960 (the predecessor to the BC-760)
Bearcat 760 (2 of them) Rugged little things. One of the best scanners of all time.
Bearcat 235
Bearcat 200
Bearcat 780
Yeasu FRG-7700
Yeasu FT-205R
Yeasu FT-847
Yeasu VX-5R
Yeasu FT-1500
Yeasu FT-8100
Yeasu FT-8800
Kenwood TH-F6A
Radio Shack HTX-10 or 100 (10 Meter Transciever)
Motorola Sport 10-X (2 of them) GMRS
SMR Sea Lab 9000 (Marine Handheld)

Bendix-King LPH Handheld VHF-High/2 Meter Ham. I carried one of these on my belt for 16 years and when I retired I had to purchase one for myself as my body was missing this "appendage".

Of all these radios the only ones not in use are the Regency TMR-8H, the BC-300, and the PRO-93. The 93 was picked up from a friend who bought it from someone else and it does not allow every channel to be used. I need to send it back to Radio Shack one of these days and get it fixed. As for the Regency scanner, I should find a place for it. It is nostalgic and the eight red lights scanning from left to right look impressive even though by today's standard the radio has no sensitivity.

When my wife gets her ham license there will be a couple more!

I've never written this down before. It is a lot of radios but then I've been at it since 1967. Reminds me of the humorous explanation of what "HAM" means, "Has Adequate Money"!

Mmmmm, I like radios. They're a little crunchy, but with some ketchup....you can get them down.
