Besides my radio cabinet I have a Desk Stack that I use here. While the cabinet is right behind me that is mostly used for logging of activity and specialty monitoring. Since I, like many of us, am pretty much stuck at home these days, meant I had time to do some work to it.
On the desk itself I have a Scanner Master 4-radio mount stuffed actually with 5 radios inside it (SDS200, TRX-2, 2 996XT's and a PSR400) as well as my SDS100 on a side bracket. Also on the desk is an HP1 and an HP2. All are supported by a Stridsberg 8-port multicoupler mounted to the back of the stack. I stole that idea from another poster (KA1NJL Scanner Rack).
When I as looking at the prior iteration of this I saw a lot of empty space between the radios and had a TRX-2 with no home. I thought that if I removed the screws from the center radios (996's) and dropped them to rest on top of the bottom radio I might be able to squeeze the TRX-2 in. I had little rubber feet on the 996's and that kept them separated from each other enough to be able to hear them with the internal speaker. The TRX-2 however would not fit in the space available with feet and had its speaker blocked so I used an external speaker for it.
These are the radios I use for every day monitoring and to support calling customers for my work-from-home job. I usually have one set up for railroads, one for local aviation, one for CloseCall and one for odd stuff I like to listen to (FRS/GRMS, Marine channels, etc.) Even though I am out in the middle of the desert there is a lot of use of the marine channels by truckers and others out here.
Here is the rear of the rack with the multicoupler:
Here is the front showing the radios. The HP-1 and HP-2 are off to the left and out of the shot. The SDS100 is on a microphone speed-clip so I can grab it and go.
