Main Transceiver - Yaesu FTDX101D.
Amp - OM Power 4000A
Second radio/standby amp - 4O3A Flex PGXL
Spare Amps - Alpha 77SX, Amp Supply Co LK800A. Nice to have a choice!
6m Transceiver - FTDX101D #2 - the best rig I could find for 6m with truly independent Receivers
6m amp - OM-Power 3006 - simply awesome!
4m - After about 30 years I am back on 4m (Jan 2013). I am now using the FTDX101D as my 4m rig with the Linear Amp UK Gemini amplifier.
2m - I amQRV on 2m EME (and terrestrial). I have an IC9700, a Linear AMP UK 2m GS-35 amp and 4 x 14 ele from YU Antennas
70cms - Also using the IC9700, a Linear Amp UK Gemini 70 1k and a box of 4 Antenna-Amplifiers 23 ele Yagis is under construction
QO-100 - Another IC9700 dedicated to QO100 (it saves changing all the settings to changes bands!) with a PE1RAH duplex transvertor system and a 1m dish. Thsi treally is a nice system and worked right out of the box
RTTY - Rarely on RTTY these days, when I do I use MMTTY
CW - Keying from a microHAM micro KEYER 2R+. This provides a "Winkey" interface as well as a standalone CW keyer, USB rig to computer interface, sound card and 2 radio switching
Keyer paddle - I have a few paddles and like some more than others. Currently I am using a 9A5N touch Iambic paddle whch I really like. I also have a TW Magpad, a Schurr Profi, Vibrokeyers (single and Iambic) and the ETM-SQ paddle which is another favourite.
Travel radio - I had not done any opearting outside the shack for some years so sold all my Travel radios. I have an FT991A in my workshop which is a useful multi-band radio for testing purposes
