N9RSU - Leroy A. Dick, Sr.'s Home Page
My favorite hobbies are amateur radio & computers.
I especially enjoy building my own computers &
improving my 220 repeater.
My wife (Linda) & oldest daughter (Heather)
are both fellow hams.
Linda is N9ZLX & Heather is KB9NFG. My youngest
daughter, Andrea is also studying for her ham license.
Below is a description of my radio room & my
antenna setup as well as our mobile rigs.
My "Ham Shack" is comprised of:
I use the following: Kenwood TM-742a 144/220/440mhz
(shown above * Please note that the picture does NOT show the 220
module installed)...
My Base Rig is a Kenwood TM-742a with the UT-220S
220 module added, it is connected to a Comet CX-333 (144/220/440)
Tri-band antenna via a Diamond CFX-324 Triplexer & 1-1/4" Hardline
with N-connectors where possible & a Yaesu YS-500 SWR/Power Meter
(140 - 525 Mhz) - Our mobile rigs are also Kenwood TM-742a also
with the 220 modules added. I am using an Astron RM-35M-BB (battery
back-up, also shown above) power supply to run the repeater &
everything on my desk...
My repeater is a Maggiore Hi Pro Mk I 220 Repeater
& a S-Com 7K controler with voice id'er & autopatch with a
Pre-Amp is located in my basement & the repeater antenna is
located on the top of my 100 foot tower in my backyard...
