Nice set up!!!!! I love it!!!!!! One question. How many channels/frequencies do you monitor/talk on at the same time? I have many radios also so I'm interested how others run there multiradio shacks? This is not a smart **Censored** reply. I really want to know how you operate that shack? Or are you like me you want a separate radio for each frequency/channel? I find it easier to tune one radio for one band and leave it there instead of having to retune every time I want to change channels or frequencies. Keep up the good work and I think I see some room on the left there for a couple more rigs!!

Well thanks! And I usually do have 3 on at any given time. I have one on always for our local home channel of 25 and then I usually have one on for our buddies whom are 45 air miles north of us running 30, and then one for DX listening up on 38lsb or anywhere else. And yeah I like certain radios and mics set up for certain things, I'm very picky when it comes to having a clean sounding station, i hate having to reset a radio and or mic just to change freqs or going from am to ssb. Guess i'm lazy, i'd rather just flip the switch and start talking :)

newboy, lately i've been playing on 38lsb with one of my 2950's, but usually my 2990 is what i use with the Jcd mic and the beam. And yes i've talked to Texas quite a few times in the past when the conditions were right :)

doctor, guess i'll have to start listening for 795!

Ahhhhh can't wait till the conditions open up again :) We've been getting a little here and there lately.

Thanks guys!
