This station was built around a Kenwood TS-870 transceiver, SM-230 station monitor and my customized SB-200 amplifier.
  

This station was built around an ICOM IC-703 Plus QRP transceiver. The audio processing for transmit and receive consists of an Audio Technica AT2020 mic, VAC pop-filter, dbx 286A mic preamp/processor, DOD 231 Qx dual 31-band audio equalizer, Behringer MX882 splitter/mixer, homebrew 20 watt audio amplifier driving an Infinity CC-3 speaker and a HeadRoom headphone amplifier. I enjoy "playing" with different equipment, so I am constantly changing the setup.
  
The picture to the left was the beginning of a station using the ICOM IC-703 Plus transceiver (center of top shelf).

The W2IHY audio processor (center shelf, left) connected to a Heil iCm microphone was for my transmit audio. The output from the IC-703 audio detector was feed into a homebrew 5 band EQ, 20 watt audio amplifier and Infinity CC-3 speaker.

I have no intention of going to ESSB. I only want to generate clear, crisp, pleasing audio for transmit and receive and keep within the 3 KHz bandwidth. For that reason I changed the design to the station above.

The receiver in the center shelf is my old Lafayette HA-52, VHF FM Communications Receiver. It's good for listening to the local NOAA weather station. For now, it fills the space left by my TR-7.
 

The picture below was a previous station. I sold the Drake L-4B, MS-7, TR-7, MN2700 and SP-75 on eBay. I also sold the Heil GM mic on eBay. I'm always making changes....
