Oh to be a slothful goat....

Radio

FT-817

Well what else can I say?  Great little radio with all the bells and whistles.  Got it as my IF radio for all my microwave gear.

I can't leave anything alone so.....  I had removed the battery and saw a nice large hole in the radio that just need filling.  So I jammed in a 4 port USB hub, a RTL SDR, sound card, Comm port and TTL Comm port.  Means I don't have to carry an external box for digital modes.  Just a little USB cable hanging out the side of the radio.  And I added a BlueTooth Comm port inside the radio.

 

Can even run SDR software on my phone.  Not SOTA but super nurdy.
