G7UXW  Portable   HOME
     
My main radio for portable radio is the SG-2020 made by the SGC company. It delivers 20 watts power and is a very well constructed radio. I also use a 10 meter telescopic mast made by Walter Speith DK9SQ a must for portable radio. From this one can hang a multitude of different aerial types. Handset is an old army issue very good audio so I'm led to believe. Some mods have been made to the set these include a small switch in the rear panel to enable the speaker to be switched off when desired and 8 volts have been added to pin 5 to enable me to drive a Signalink SL-1+ Soundcard interface and a Kenwood mic. The mods are by Jochen Heilemann DG2IAQ and are available at www.mods.dk
