Equipment used by me
Miracle Antenna
Perhaps not a real miracle, but together with FT-817 it makes a nice couple. For sale.
ICOM IC-211E
A nice working rig. My home was not a good home for this rig - I did not let it work as much as it should. Sold to SM6YOU.
ICOM 271E
Was once the active tranceiver in my shack. This 271 E gave around 30 Watts out in SSB operation and worked nice.
ICOM 290 D
Perfect for beginners and also advanced users for that matter. For base or mobile with approx. 18 Watts output on 144 MHz.
This is a genuine machine and I really like it. Not that many knobs and fancy meters and had a proper output power. The 290 D is very easy to handle. Now in my store.
Handheld. ICOM T8E, T7E and Kenwood TD-D7
Nice machines. If you have any questions regarding those, do not hesitate to ask me!
Kenwood TS-811
Low power version. Gives around 15 W on FM, and around 10 with high modulation on SSB. When being used to Icom, it was a lot of fiddeling around, but the machine makes sense. Lot's of memory, 40 channels. A shame that the activity on 432 MHz are so low!
AEA 232 MBX
Incase I had to be digital, an AEA 232MBX helped me. Used for APRS.
144 MHz antenna
A 6 el Yagi from Vårgårda Radio. Was placed on my balcony (2nd floor) and a 4 - 6 m high tower.
Amplifier
When I was running "QRO", I had a simple, but clean, transistorized amplifier (Lemm) giving some 90 - 120 Watts out when feed with 10 Watts.
MFJ 1022
An active antenna from MFJ Enterprises. Works good with smaller portable receivers, but should not be used when there are noise/QRM from TV, computers etc etc.
Diamond V-728
I have a Diamond V-728, it operates 7, 21 and 28 MHz. It has to be connected to a tuner to work properly. It's for sale.
Read more about it (PDF).
MFJ 9406
This is a real QRP-outlet that gave me some enjoyment the first time it was tested!
I guess the output power are around 8 Watts. The data sheet says 10W.... For sale.
Yaesu FLT-2011
Was only operating cluster / APRS frequencies. Gives 5 or 60 Watts out. Can only be programmed via a cable connected to a special computer program.
Dressler ARA
An active antenna, that once was mounted on my balcony.
Packet & APRS
I had installed an YAM (Yet Another Modem) for packet operation. This is really a simple and almost an easy to handle thing. It took some time to put all neccessary files together, but when up and working - could just say - perfect!
Magnetic loop antenna
The antenna used together with the Scanti is a magnetic loop covering 10 kHz up to 30 MHz. Not an excellent one, but good enough. I would say it is equal to about 10 metres of wire.
Sangean ATS 803 A
For portable use, I have a Sangean ATS 803 A. Easily overloaded if you have too much antenna connected to it. And if you ever whisper the word thunder to it, it will probably blow the first amplifier-stage in self-defence.
Scanti R-5001
the Scanti R-5001 has given me many fantastic moments. As with the ICOM 290 D, this receiver has no fancy knobs or disco lights, only the basic things, like fantastic filters. It has been compared with a NRD 525 and became the proper winner of that test.
