I have 3 setups in the house one in an outside building and 2 vehicles setup. One vehicle has a Yaesu FT-857D all band all mode radio other has a RCI2970 with small tuner and for 2 meters it has an ADI AR-146.

In the house main desk Yaesu FT-990 MFJ-989C tuner and Yaesu 2100B amplifier. Also a Galaxy DX2527 base MFJ-962D tuner Texas Star DX500.

Kids desk next to mine has a Yaesu FT-840 MFJ-941E Tuner and a Palomar TX-5200 80-10 meter amplifier for 2 meters theres a Yaesu FT-2800 and a Yaesu 225RD 2 meter base rig.

my bedroom has a Yaesu FT-450 MFJ-962D tuner and an Ameritron ALS-600 There is also a Kenwood TS-50 with matching AT-50 tuner and RCI 2950DX in there and a Texas Star DX500 for 2 meters in there I also have a Yaesu FT-2800.

Outside building will have one of these Yaesu FT-840 in it most likely when I reset everything back up out there after I install one of the other towers.

I am getting things ready for the kids mobiles I have quite a few other radios here aswell like a Sommerkamp TS-2000 2950 Uniden HR-2510, Cobra 148 and a Uniden PC122 and lots of antennas base and mobile along with base and mobile preamps and microphones other things packed away. I actually have to much and have slowly been weeding through it and Im always hooking diffreent things up an running them so there not just sitting. LOL!!
