My Ham Shack, from left to right

The left monitor is showing a display of Sdruno using A RSP1a from Sdrplay. Controlled by a 16gig 3.5 CPU computer. To the right of the monitor, is two power supplies, sitting on top of the Ant. Controller box is a Kenwood 2meter TM-281 rig. Next on the shelf is my antenna control box, powering a Cushcraft 3 element beam on a sixty five foot tower. Below the antenna controller is a Kenwood TS-590sg running the RSP1a as a Panadapter, rig is also CAT controlled, next is a Uniden BC350A scanner which is around 25 years old. Below is another Kenwood TS-870s also CAT controlled used for digital software using Ham Radio Deluxe. Next in line is the Uniden SDS200, its sitting on a D-Link Router utilize for a static IP address with the SDS200 for audio using ProScan software. Next to the 200 is my first rig a Yaesu FT-747GX around 30 years old now and still working. On top of it is the Uniden BCD996P2 controlled by ProScan followed by a Kenwood SM station monitor SM-220. The computer next to the SM-220 is home build 4core 2.9 gig computer that runs the software for the two scanners, above on corner shelf is a 1969 Heathkit SB-101 (still working) next is an up-dated Pakratt 232, which was used for Pactor for Army Mars. On top is a MFJ-948 Tuner.

Antennas for the above devices:

65 foot tower with 3 element Cushcraft beam, Hustler 5-band vertical, 2-meter vertical, Diamond Antenna D130NJ Super Discone antennas for SDS200,Homemade Discone for the 996P2, 160-10 dipole and a MLA-30+ for the RSP1a

Nice setup. I have an old pair of PK232's in the attic. I wonder if I can get those updated? They are great TNCs.

Hello @N9PVW. Did you build the Heathkit SB-101 in 1969 perhaps as your first Transceiver? I built a Heathkit SB-102 in 1974 as my first transceiver. Great tube rigs back in the day. Very nice setup you have there! 73, Dave K4EET

Edit: I see where the Yaesu FT-747GX was your first rig. When did you get the Heathkit SB-101?

Got the Heathkit from a Ham that I meet while I was at the VA hospital, we got talking, and I found out that he was in a Nursing home, and couldn't have it, so he gave it to me, about 15 years ago
