Great setup!

What is the secret to running multiple instances of Zello on one PC?

Looks like you got some friendly competition, Rich. There may be a new "Sheriff" coming to town. JK. Awesome set-up.

Very nice, do you have a link for the cross bars on the mast by chance? Never seem those before.

I have a question about your antenna tower. How did you connect the arms to your tower?

 

[EMTJD]

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???

What XYL? He HAS to be single!

 

[Firebuff66]

What XYL? He HAS to be single!

LMAO, I have had the same XYL for 19 years
She tolerates the setup, she is also a 911 dispatcher so the setup is not something from a TV show to her
The scanner in the living room is limited to 6 approved channels only LOL

25 plus years here. She actually hears pertinent local calls from downstairs if I've got the shack (upstairs) cranked up with other ham/misc. stuff in the mix. I've stepped out of the house and on multiple occasions she updated me on a working fire she overheard. My shack is across the hall from our bedroom and she has never said a word about any of my monitoring or ham radio racket... She knows some of my buddies' ham calls and will even let me know if they've called me while I was walking the dog. If a pursuit breaks, I hand her my XTS5000 as she will be glued to it until the suspect is in custody.

But my mother-in-law? She had limited duties as a PD radio dispatcher (retired). She says my shack reminds her too much of "work". LOL

 

[N9JIG]

I married a deaf girl so she would not be bothered by the radios, worked out great!

THAT little bit of information would have been nice to have known up front. Just sayin'. Seriously, though… nice setup.
