That's my base station setup, nothing real fancy, but it gets the job done. The antenna is an old Hy-gain Penetrator 500 that my grandfather used back in the 70's, still works great! I run RG-213U coax to the antenna.
The D104 in the picture I bought at a garage sale for 5 dollars is an all-original 1969 issue (that's what it says on the inside sticker) with the original crystal element in the head.
The Pace Sidetalk 1000B base I purchased recently from a friend, goes up to 27.605 (and slides -10kc+ to get the channels that a standard 23 channel cannot get) plus the blank on the channel selector works as a channel also (27.235/channel 24). It's a nice clean vintage unit that works well, and I have done all the work on it myself. That is the radio I talk on most of the time.
The President Washington is a 1979 issue (uPD858 board) and the Uniden Pro 810e is an Ebay special (60 dollars).
Mobile pics coming soon!
