This is one of the computer controlled wide band all mode receivers I have. The receiver is very versatile and offers reasonable performance on HF (but not the same selectivity as the WiNRADiO WR-1550e) and works very well for reception of radio signals in the VHF and UHF range. The software is easy to work with, but lack the possibility for plug-ins. It is one of very few wideband receivers that have a 50 kHz IF-filter, and because of that I use this receiver for reception of weather satellite images.

For more information about this receiver visit the ICOM IC-PCR1000 page at ICOM.

ICOM IC-2KL is a 500 Watt Solid State Linear Amplifier who I use occasionally on HF when I need that little extra to get through in a Pile-Up.

Sommerkamp SLA-50 is a 50 Watt Solid State Linear Amplifier for 2 m and 70 cm which I use occasionally when I need that little extra to get through in a Pile-Up.

ICOM IC-AT500 is a fully automatic antenna tuner. It have presets for all bands which makes tuning unnecessary and changing band is just a matter of seconds. The IC-AT500 can handle 500 Watts and I use it both when I'm running the IC-2KL.

The MFJ-948 is good versatile manual antenna tuner, it can match just about anything.

The MFJ-971 is a manual antenna tuner, and is mostly used for portable operation.

ICOM AT-120 is a automatic tuner that can tune almost anything. I control this tuner from my KENWOOD TS-2000X via the LDG K-OTT interface.

LDG AT-100Pro is a tuner which works great with any transceiver.

Check out this site for more information about the LDG AT-100Pro:
http://www.ldgelectronics.com/c/252/products/1/1/1

LDG KENWOOD One-Touch Tune Interface is the little miracle matchbox that let me use my ICOM AT-120 and my LDG tuners with my KENWOOD TS-2000X and TS-590.

LDG RT-11 is a nice little tuner, which I bought as a Kit and built myself. I use my RT-11 mostly for mobile or field operations.

Check out this site for more information about the LDG RT-11:
http://www.ldgelectronics.com/c/252/products/7/31/1

The SGC SG-237 Smarttuner is even smaller than the LDG RT-11, and also much better. This tuner has become my new favourite tuner. No more fussing around with interface between the tuner and the transceiver, just apply 12 VDC and RF and it tunes the antenna.

I bought this tuner with the SGS Stealth Kit which includes ropes and wire for making our own antenna on the go.

I bought this Preselector primarily to enhance the receiving capabilities on HF with my
YAESU VR-5000 Wideband Receiver.

This is a antenna tuner used for reception to enhance the received signal strength.

This is a combined USB rig control interface, a USB soundcard, a RTTY and CW keyer. It is probably the best interface there is around, and it can be configured for almost any kind of amateur radio transceiver.

I have 2 of those TNC's. I use one of the TNC-X's with the X-Digi digipeater daughterboard and can configure the TNC-X/X-Digi for use as a portable digipeater when necessary. The other one is primary used in the shack as an interface between one of my 2 m transceivers and the PC. I also have the X-Track APRS tracker daughterboard which I can install when necessary.

For more information see this link: http://www.tnc-x.com/

This is a great little device, it doubles as a tracker and as a digipeater, making it perfect for mobile and portable digipeaters. It can be used as a KISS TNC as well.

I use the TinyTrak3Plus for APRS tracking.

For more information see this link: http://www.byonics.com/tinytrak/tt3plus.php

I use the OpenTracker+ for APRS tracking, I have 2 ea. OpenTracker+. The OpenTracker+ is as great little tracker, and it's actually my favourite tracker because it can output APRS stations as waypoints on my GARMIN GPSmap 60CSx GPS Receiver.

For more information see this link:  https://www.argentdata.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=65

I use this GPS receiver for APRS, trekking, mountaineering, car driving and just about everything you can use an GPS receiver to do.

I own a little bunch of GPS receivers, most of them I use for APRS. The GPS to the left is a GlobalSat BT-359 Bluetooth GPS that I use with my laptop PC and my mobile phone. The GPS in the middle is a GlobalSat BR-355 GPS  and the GPS to the right is a Deluo GPS, I use both of them for APRS. Both can also be used on my laptop PC.

This is a very versatile SWR/Antenna analyzer. This instrument is really helpful when I’m experimenting with antennas.

Power!! It’s always necessary with a power supply to power the amateur radio station. Above is a selection of some of the power supplies I use. The Samlex SEC 1223 is a switch-mode power supply. The SEC 1223 is excellent for powering 100 watt rigs when travelling. The Watson Power Mite is also excellent for travelling, it's smaller than the Samlex SEC 1223, and it have voltage and ampere meters as well. The Velleman K7200 is a power supply that I bought as a kit and built my self, it is a great lab power supply for all radio amateurs who like to experiment with electronics. The Daiwa PS-30XMII and Diamond GSV3000 are standard power supplies. I guess most radio amateurs have a similar power supply in their shack.
