    Working like a dandy, modulation all over the place glowing reports, some can't believe it is the FT 2000 D

    Looks good.

    I need to clean my shack up and get a few pics of the new (to me) gear which is in the lineup - including that four-foot row of Icoms. :shock:

    Still need to clean up the cabinet of cabling and stuff, but that can be done tomorrow.
    Needs a new strip with white leds on the edge of the cabinet to light up softly the front of the 2000, so that the lettering is better visible, i mostly sit here in the room with low lights on, and it can use the soft white light.

    The strip that is on there now was as wide as the FT 847......

    Waiting for your pictures :)

    Piece o' junk. You shoulda bought one of these instead:



    You'd at least stay a lot busier, trying to keep it on frequency...
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Just sold the spare FT 847 to a good friend, the old one is spare here.
    With the FT100 i keep 3 HF/VHF/UHF radio's here.

    And that new fangled Swan is too much learning curve for me :)

    And no, i work all bands 160 - 70 cm's ;)
    But indeed mostly `160......

    I remember seeing a couple of those old black and white radios as part of a display in an Asheville vintage clothes shop. Thank god they didn't do anything stupid like trying to colorize them.

    Wow, that is an impressive outfit. I'll bet all those giant meters draw at least an amp of power. I'd like to take a picture of my setup, but one Alinco DX-70 sitting on a desk looks pretty much like the clock radio on my nightstand.
