N1LEF RADIOS



  Well here they, are my rigs that I have at the moment. I am also going to place my history of radios I have owned in the past as well.



Current Radios




 This is my main radio right now. It is a Kenwood TS690s HF+6M Amateur Transceiver The Kenwood TS-690S covers the HF bands plus 6 meters in CW/LSB/USB modes. It has a digital display. The rear panel has an SO239 antenna jack for HF and one for 6M. Operates from 13.8 VDC



 I also own this Icom ic-735. an ultra-compact, easy to use HF radio covering 160 through 10 meters with 100 watts. Modes include SSB, CW, FM and AM. Enhancements include: dual digital VFOs, 12 memories, full QSK, RIT, speech compressor, and noise blanker. The 735 has a general coverage receiver covering 100 kHz to 30 MHz with 105dB dynamic range. The advanced, triple conversion receiver section includes pass band tuning, notch, preamp and attenuator. A translucent cover protects the slide controls that adjust: NB Level, RF Gain, RF Power, VOX Gain, VOX Delay and speed for optional keyer.



 For more local communication I have three radios which I have to work on HI HI . The first one is a Realistic HTX-202 2 meter portable. The rechargeable battery pack will not recharge so it is an easy fix I have to get a new one. I can use a power supply on it with a mic or just handheld.

  The second one is an Alinco dj200t it is for 220 meters I have the same problem with it, the battery pack. I am going to look into getting the packs I can use regualr AA's on as well.

  My last one here is also an Alinco but it is a DR590 it runs 2 meters and 440. I have to get a mic for this one but it will make a nice reciever for now.



  My back up is a nice old tube set Kenwood TS520S.Designed for SSB and CW modes in the 160 through 10 meter amateur bands. It also features receive of WWV at 15 MHz. There is an accurate analog display. Power input is 200W PEP SSB and 160W DC CW. Other features include RIT, VOX, noise blanker, attenuator and carry handle. I hve the MC50 desk mic as well for it.
