At home I usually operate with an FT-847 on VHF and a Kenwood TS-830S for HF.
	For AO-40 I use a modified Transystem AIDC-3731AA as a down-converter, this unit has been modified to cover 2400 MHz by N4IP and lately to accept voltages between 11 to 35 VDC. With all these modifications I can plug the down-converter straight to the FT-847 without having to use a bias-tee. Very simple to use.
	During VHF contest, I operate mostly mobile from mountain tops, here is my current gear.

Band	Antenna	Equipment	ERP
50 MHz	3 elements yagi	IC-706 100W	57 dBm
144 MHz	13 elements yagi	FT-847 50W	59 dBm
432 MHz	16 elements yagi	FT-847 50W	61.5 dBm
903 MHz	33 elements loop-yagi	IC-706 + HW transverter 5W	53.5 dBm
1296 MHz	25 elements loop-yagi	IC-706 + HW transverter 15W	56.7 dBm
2400 MHz	25 turns helix	FT-847 + Transystem AIDC-3731AA	RX only for AO-40

No 222 MHz yet, but I working in a new transverter.

Here are some of the antennas used during the Jan VHF contest 2002

Below is a picture of my AO-40 balcony antenna farm.

The 4 1/2' dish is used for downlink at 2401 MHz while the short yagi is used for uplink at 435 MHz.
