VHF/UHF Radio Equipment

  Once again Icom features prominently in my radio collection. For 6M (50MHz) and 2M (144MHz) I use my main HF radio the IC-7400 as this gives me 100W output, there's also a converted ex PMR radio working as an AX25 packet node.

 

For 4M (70MHz) I use a homebrewed transverter built to a design called the "Cray" which was published in the "VHF UHF DX book", this is driven by my IC-735 transceiver and feeds into a converted Microwave Modules 50MHz amplifier giving me about 45W output. 4M and 6M both share the same aerial, a 5+5 element design by Pop YU7EF.

For 70cms (430MHz) I use an Icom IC-471E and an amplifier giving me 100W output which feeds into a 19 element F9FT beam.
