I just found a pic I missed earlier of the PA section of the Flexradio 3000, as well as another software shot so I added it to the previous post about the rig. Click on the following link to go back and see the picture:

High Power Baluns

For all you high power junkies, here are few 1:1 current isolation baluns. We've had posts occasionally asking where to purchase these things, so here you go:

Cubex 8 element quad

Cubex has had these out for a while, as well, but they're more impressive in person This is a 8 element quad for 2 meters. They were selling them for $125.

This is a display of the Icom IC-7000 rig with the AH4 auto tuner. You can see that Bill was trying to talk to the truck drivers again

Well, he is one, no pics of him with the girlies?

 

[Moleculo]

This is a huge trailer mounted tower that Bill is standing in front of. I think this was a 100' tower, and they had one twice this size on the other side of the lot

Here is one of the guys that climbed the tower to service the antenna briefly. I'm not sure, but I think the antenna was 3 element phased 80m folded dipole. It looked like a folded dipole yagi, but it also looks like there is coax running to all three elements.

Commander HF-2500

This isn't a new product either, but I thought some would like to see what a Commander HF-2500 amp looks like. Pretty nice!

Steppir motor

Ever wonder what the inside of the Steppir motor looks like? Here's a pic of the one used on the Yagis. Sorry for the reflection in the pic...

A couple more shots of interesting rigs. Nothing new here, but it's still fun to take pictures

This is the ultra compact Yaesu FTM-10. It's a really small VHF/UHF mobile that can be installed just about anywhere. The face is detachable like most mobile rigs.

And, this is the TenTec Orion II:

HA! If I had thought of that, I would have! Although that would be a mighty rude finish to this thread!
