Here you have a picture of some of my radiogear. My main QRO-tranciever is a DRAKE TR7. To the right of the TR7 you see my R7. The Matchbox is only there for the wattmeter as I'm using a resonant antenna by GAP. To the left of the MN-7 you have the Station Monitor SM-220 by Kenwood. To the right of the R-7 you see my beloved FT-817 by YAESU. The mike is a DRAKE 7077 built by Astatic with a dynamic cartridge. On the top shelf you see a collection of my QRP-gear och homebrew.

I have interconnected the TR7 and R7. Here you have the interconnection instructions.
Now I'm looking for a remote VFO (Preferrably a RV-75). Here you have a shematics of  RV-75.

This is my vintage corner as it used to be in my old QTH. You see from top left to bottom right. DRAKE R4B ( unmodify ), ATLAS 210 ( modified frontend ), Homebrew Powermeter ( on top of ATLAS ), YAESU FT-817 ( not wintage ), DRAKE UV3E ( 2m , 70 cm built 1977 ), DRAKE TR7 ( built 1978 ), MS7 ( speaker, BEHRINGER ( Processor, Limiter ).

Here my DRAKE TR-7 gets some treatment on my desk. The soldering-iron is nearly always on in my shack. In the shelf you see my home-brew QRP-rig. If you have a close look at it you see that it hase a DRAKE-design.

On April 20 I listened to a presentation by Sindre Torp ( Here seen on the far left ) here in Stockholm. Sindre has the biggest collection of DRAKE-gear in teh world back in Norway.

Here we have a picture of SM5HSE -Lars in his shack 11 May 2002. You can see that this gentleman has the good taste of using DRAKE-equipment. If you take a good look you can see there are some modifications done.
