As many of you know, we are sometimes limited by our spouse by what we can/can't do with our equipment. I was given some tight parameters by my wife being: 1) No outside antennas can be visible from the front of our house and on our deck out back, and 2) I get a four foot nook in the corner of our office for my "stuff."
This unorthodox setup was my solution to my better half's demands. I decided to operate most my radios via computer, and stash them away in the lower cabinet. This made cable management easy, as I could just hide a big mess of antenna and speaker cables out of sight. Under the hood and run by Proscan are:
1 BCD99T
2 BCD996P2's
2 BCT15X's
On the shelf I have an HP1, 780XLT and the oldies but goodies, a PRO-2022 and my very first radio that I will never get rid of, my trusty 560XLT.
I run all my audio through a Behringer Eurorack mixer and an amplifier to the speakers. So far I am impressed with the audio, and the simplicity of isolating a radio to one speaker, while either muting or sending the others to a different speaker is working great. I am hoping to add Bluetooth soon so I can listen anywhere around the house.
Outside I have 7 antennas in locations I am not particularity pleased about, but the wife is OK with. Negotiations are never ending and someday I may get get to put one or two where they should be....
