Part 1:
On Tuesday I ordered a new Uplift L-Shaped standing desk to replace my older single top desk. My wife encouraged this since she wanted the old desk for her crafting room. The desk arrived Thursday night (of course just as we sat down to dinner!) We cleared out what we could then and after work Friday cleared out everything from the office. We assembled the new desk upside down and then flipped it over. As it has casters it is real easy to move around so we tried a couple different arrangements before deciding in the final layout. The whole thing is pretty well self-contained, with a single power cord, an Ethernet cable and an antenna feed being the only connections to the outside.
The radio equipment is pretty much the same as before, the 42u Networking cabinet for the majority of the radios, the MiniStack and a bunch of handhelds. (I will list the radios below). The big cabinet contains 3 Stridsberg multicouplers, 2 8-port and a 4-port. The MiniStack has its own 8-port Stridsberg. The cabinet has 2 25A power supplies, one for the receivers and another for the 2-ways. The 746 has its own 35A supply. Also in the cabinet are 3 USB hubs, 2 13 port and a 7-port. The 13-port hubs each cover the right or left side of the cabinet and plug into the 7-port, There are a couple other devices plugged directly into the 7-port as well, the RadarBox and UPS included.
I made a quick video of the office, see it at
Of course there are pictures!
Here is the overview. At center is the radio cabinet. At right is the Secondary Desk and the main desk is on the left.
Next is the second desk and the wife's desk. The computer on the Second Desk is a Hades Canyon NUC, 32GB of RAM and 2 1TB NVME SSD's running 14 instances of ProScan and 2 of Pro96Com as well as the ANRB RadarBox. A part of the HH collection is there too.
Here is the Third Desk, with the wife's portion on the left and the big screen on the right. My older Intel NUC is on the big screen here and we are watching the Folkston rail cam from Virtual Railfan. A small part of the airplane collection is displayed, the rest is stored away for now.
