Radio time

[arajca]

I found a good deal:
EF Johnson 5113, P25, full keypad w/ front keypad programming enabled, speaker mike, battery, charger for $650.

Came in today.

Yes, the case is orange, but I'm not concerned about it.

Nice setup.  FPP is awesome to have, especially if you are also a ham.

As long as it's show and tell time, I'll play along and display my latest purchase.

It's a Motorola XTS2500, VHF, with P25 and FPP (Front Panel Programming).  I spent about $700 for the radio, charger, battery and antennas.  I bought a helical whip as well as a VHF wideband whip.  A speaker mic is on the way right now.  I wouldn't have spent that much, but selling some unused stuff on eBay covered the cost. 

Lets see some other member owned radios.

My "soon to be declared non-narrowband-compliant transmitter non grata" VX-800.



Actually, looking at the specs, it may be declared OK..  Here's hoping.  Just sent an email to the NTC requesting that they make their determination.

If it was compliant pre-Jan 06 AND in CAP service then, it is grandfathered in.

A small concession National made to the members.

Nothing is for sale right now...but here is my setup, missing a few things:

(Old School Saber, HT1250, XTS3000(p25)-From wuzafuzz!!, Motorola Spectra(not digital), Kennwood TK-280, HT1000)



(VHF Motorola Astro Spectra(p25), and off to the corner is a UHF XTS5000, behind that is a MTS2000, GP300, and GP340... and also a SeaBand radio. Below the Spectra is my IC-271 all mode 2 Meter radio-the tuning knob is broken though...it continually tunes upward. )

Kenwood TK-730, VHF, 45W


Kenwood TK-280, VHF, 5W


Motorola Micom-S, HF, 2-30Mhz, 50W

That Micom is awfully nice- how'd you get one of those?

Ebay and a blatant disregard for money management

Dang! Its hard enough for me to stop collecting Motorola gear long enough to pay for NCSA's, not to mention my intentions to get an FT-817ND.
