As my first radio, I bought a TRX on an ad Kenwood TM-255E. It was an excellent station, sensitive, cheap, just 2m as it should be. Maybe I'll buy it again on my old knees. As I wanted to score a little in the MSR VKV, I decided to add 70cm in addition to 2m, so I saved up and bought it Icom 706MKIIG. I was also satisfied, even the measurements showed, that its spectral purity was better than the compared FT847. It already had KV bands, so everything possible could be tuned. However, I had some problems with strong stations and it was nerves in big races. So I saved up again, 706ku sold and bought Yaesu FT-847. But that's not it either. It would like to have two stations. One KV and the other VKV. The most ideal solution would probably be VKV TRX 2m/70cm/23cm something similar to IC-910H and on KV TRX with two RX something like for example FT-1000MP. But that's only in the stars for now…
As time goes by, HAMšek also changes, and so I did at the beginning of August 2009 became a happy owner Yaesu FT-1000MP. As far as transceivers are concerned, I was quite well equipped for all bands and started to deal more with the issue of antennas.
Again, some time passed and with it came changes. FT-847 I transferred it to the original owner and I have it again from him Icom 706MKIIG. Later I had a ZY33 triple bander on loan, which, however, had some malfunction on the trap and was somehow untunable on all three bands.
I invested the money saved after replacing the FT-847 and in the summer 2010 bought a new Yeasu G-650C rotator and a used TH3JRS three-bander. I had it all summer for testing at the cottage and since it proved itself, in the fall, he went to the roof at the home QTH.
After a while, one trap left with high performance also on JH3TRS. At the moment the antenna is on the roof but I don't use it. In October 2014 I sold the Icoma 706 and am currently thinking, what will I get for the money I earn.
V roku 2015 I sold the tribander and we managed to win an Icom 746 on Ebay, that is, after a few years I am QRV and VKV again.
