Tooo many radios...LOL


OK, so it had to happen. I tidied up.
I have.....
3 Yaesu HF Tcvrs
1 Kenwood HF Tcvr
1 Trio HF Tcvr.
3 40 Channel CB's from the 80's
1 Ham Int
About 5 or 6 Pye's plus a couple of handhelds. Anyone got a PF8?.
A couple of Puxings
3 HF manual ATU's, or 5 if you include the QRP.
2 other ATU's.
I am not sure but I think I have 9 - 13 other radios in full working order plus a few that are minus a knob or a microphone etc.
Add on top of that several linear, a few portable antennas, at least 2 bandpass filters, several SWR meters & at least 4 soldering irons. I found two brand new Antex Soldering Irons in thier packaging today during the Tidy up...Oh make that at least 5, I have a portable gas iron as well.

The above is the least of it.
I have things like both volumes of The Admiralty handbook of wireless telegraphy & some 1980's packet radio equipment, that is so old the software is on floppy disks & as for a Uniden UCB 50XL 10 channel Scanner thats so old I saw one just like it being dug up on Time Team 20 years ago.
Frequency range: 66-88 / 136-174 / 406-512 MHz
Mode FM only.

OK just googled your QTH & repeater...No CTCSS.
If it's a 777 I don't know for sure, but I think you may have to go back to the old trick of whistling up the repeater as I don't think all have 1750hz tone burst.
The 888 does. I think.
