Us old white guys remember the Collins gear, then Drake was king. I worked the world with a Drake TR-3
The Japs have taken over, and my last rig was the Yaesu 890 that I left behind when I fled the USSA.
I happen to be a Kenwood bigot myself. The only non-Kenwood rig in my vehicles or my shack is the Yaesu FT-101ZD I finished restoring today. Picked it up for a song, did some minor repairs, a re-alignment and put in a new set of tubes. Tomorrow I re-spray the case (original color) and she's good as new.
The primary base is a Kenwood TS-2000 with a Heil GM-5, Alpha 9500 amp, and PalStar AT2K Tuner w/Daiwa CN-801 Meters..
The "backup" base is my old Kenwood 940SAT with a Heil GM-4, Ameritron AL-80B, PalStar AT2K Tuner w/Daiwa CN-801 Meters.
The mobile in my truck is a Kenwood TS-480HX, the mobile in the wife's vehicle (when I use it) is an old Kenwood TS-50 with the matching auto-tuner.
All my rig's are Kenwoods with the exception of this FT-101ZD. Not sure if I'm going to keep it or re-sell it at this point. Still trying to decide. May keep it around for the old Boat Anchor nets.
