This is the current setup. From left to right, on the middle shelf:
- An IC-2720 transceiver providing Winlink Telpac service on 145.030 with a TNC-X 1200 baud TNC
and on 440.825 with a TNC7multi 9500 baud TNC.
- An FT-847 for HF SSB and CW, and VHF/UHF FM.
- A TS-440S/AT, primarily for PSK31, and as an alternate HF voice rig.
To the right of that, from bottom to top, is:
- MFJ-986 antenna tuner.
- Very sadly shelled out Collins 312B-5 station control console. My elmer gave me this when I was a kid. But
the speaker and power meter still work great. I don't use the power meter since MFJ tuner handles that,
and the speaker is connected to the Yeasu rig. It's handy because it has a "station mute" switch that lets me
cut the speaker off with just a quick flick.
- Controller for the CDE Ham II antenna rotator with the Idom Press PIC controller kit installed.
- One of my vintage QSL cards from around 1969.
The computer is a homebrew box for PSK31, logging, callsign lookups, etc.
Next to the keyboard is a Kent dual paddle/straight key, which I really love.
Behind all the gear is a very tidy MFJ window feedthrough panel for all the antenna cables.
