Hi guys,
Been a few years since I've posted on the board. Lots of radios gone through, and I'm now back to the old trusty Kenwood TS850S. It's probably my 5th or 6th I've owned over the years. I replaced all the failure prone caps, and put LED's in the display. Loaded it up with CW filters and...
I know this is an old post, but I am in the process of writing up a mod that does allow you to hook up an LCD monitor to the 756PRO series radio for an external display.

You can mount it either way.
Mag loops are very efficient if properly designed. The only downside is they are very very narrow banded. Great if you tend to park on one frequency, but if you are jumping around a band, say in a contest, you will be constantly retuning the antenna. I built one...
Hi Brett,
I don't have the Mark V Field anymore. I sold it and picked up another TS-2000, big mistake. I traded the Kenwood for a Yaesu FT-2000.
The desk top is linoleum self stick tiles I picked up 3/$1.75 at the local dollar store. It really dresses up the desk.

If so, it is a suitable candidate. The 930 has a first IF of 44.93 MHz, which is well within the tuning range of the USB tuner dongles.
On the RF unit, a suitable tap point would be the RIF connector, this is the 44.93 1st IF signal (receive).
This...
Hi Brett,
Thanks,
I used 12V LED strip lighting from eBay, 3 in each meter. They mount on the inside of the meter covers, and fed thru the meter housing to the inside. I mounted a small 12V adapter inside to power them. Check out the Fox Tango Yahoo group for details.

Sold the FT990 and picked up a mint FT950, SP2000, Astron VS-35M and other gear. Really liking the FT950. Also made a homebrew 6m Moxon and threw that up on the tower.
Looking forward to spending cold winter days inside the shack.
