Shack Update Revision 4

[wise871]

Today I finished running wires; installed a MCA204M and a laptop for Unitrunker. After all the work I can now sit back and enjoy my accomplishments. I also setup a smaller area behind my desk chair for additional work like running UT, programming my portables and soon I hope to have a BC898T on the second shelf for monitoring Mil-Air. I don't have to explain the equipment, everyone should be farmiliar with everything.

great job man looks outstanding if you do not mind me saying so.

Now THAT is impressive!

Lets see, guess I would be on Rev .01 considering I have 1 computer and 1 scanner. You guys give me goals. Nice set up.

I made one slight adjustment. I decided to hook my spare monitor up to the laptop dock which gives me more viewing screen resolution. Now everything is uniformed across my desk. I can still power on the laptop from the dock switch. No more changes tonight. :lol:

Yet another beautiful and inspirational setup! Love the helmet!

What do you have for an antenna, and do you use a coupler for your scanners? You did a great job on the wires too, nice and clean.

The main desk radios (first 4) are connected to a Stridsberg MCA204M Multicoupler. The MC is connected to a Diamond DJ130N with LMR-400. The fifth radio is connected to an 800 MHz Yagi with RG-6 pointed towards the Pensacola’s 800 tower. The back desk scanners will be running RG6 to a RS 20-176 sputnik tomorrow.

Have you fabricated a connector so you can put the helmet on and listen to the scanners? Looks Good!

I have an adapter for it back when I used my ipod back on those long flights. Never used it on a scanner.

I'm glad to have found someone who is using a Stridsberg. I'll assume you are happy with it?

I'm looking at MCA208M for my many scanners and R7000.

One day I hope to have a very clean looking shack like you have.

I couldn’t be happier with purchasing the Stridsberg. For one thing I went from running 5 antennas and lines down to two. The price I paid for all the extra hardware I could have purchased the Stridsberg back in the beginning. I’m also happy that all my radios are running off my best configuration, LMR-400 & DJ130N. All my radios are pulling in nice clean and strong signals.

I use LMR-400 & the DJ130N as well. I only have one of them at a time and I'd love to get the Stridsberg. What coax do you use between the Stridsberg and your radios? Is it a high quality RG6 or or LMR-400?
