Well finally took some pictures of my desk and radios and thought I would post them up here for your enjoyment. Before I get all the comments, I know everyone loves to harp on the wires hanging down behind the desk but I don't mind them.


The computer is a Dell E520 with a 20" widescreen monitor. The radios are a Motorola Maxtrac 300 VHF, Maxtrac 300 UHF, Uniden Bearcat BCD996T, and a Icom PCR100. The Maxtrac's scan the local Amateur radio repeaters and some VHF/UHF public safety services from surrounding counties. The Uniden scans the local trunk systems. The Icom is used primarly for VHF/UHF aircraft monitoring. The Icom and Bearcat audio is feed to the speaker bar under the monitor, the computer audio is from the Altec Lansing speakers. The antennas are a Comet GP-3 feeding the Maxtracs, and the Icom is attached currently to a Scantenna side mounted to my mast just below the Comet. The antennas are on a 10' mast attached to my 3rd floor balcony railing.
