- Another Quarantine shack video! I moved things around (again!) and added a monitor, 4-screen stand and cleaned things up a bit.
The desk is an Uplift L-Shaped standing desk with casters. There are 4 32-inch monitors on a 2x2 stand as well as a separate 27 inch screen for the cameras. On the desk is a Scanner Master 4-radio desk stand with an SDS200, SDS100, 2 BCD996XT's, a TRX-2 and a PSR400. There is also a HP1 and HP2, all 8 are connected to an 8-port Stridsberg multicoupler.
The main computer is a Mac Mini-2018 with a Sonnet eGPU to allow it to work with the 4 HD displays. There is also an Intel Hades Canyon NUC that can use the top two displays using the input selector.
The cabinet is directly behind my desk position and contains 8 BCT15's. 4 BCT15X's, 4 BCD996XT's and 4 PSR600's. There are also other radios including Icom 746Pro and R8500 as well as a couple two-ways for ham and GMRS.
There are 2 large displays for watching TV or (when working) rail-cams from RailStream and Virtual Railfan.
A more complete description will be posted in the Pictures forum at RadioReference.
FAQ's:
Q1: Why so many radios?
A1: Because I can! Actually they all have purposes. Most of the scanners in the cabinet are searching out small band segments for new activity or designated for a specific purpose. The ones on the desk are for daily listening.
Q2: Why do you rearrange things all the time?
A2: First off, it is fun to try it different ways. Especially now when we are pretty much confined to home rearranging allows me to do something other than sit around and get fat. Each time I change things I learn something new. It also allows me to clean up wiring or reposition something for easier reach or view.
Q3: What do you do with all those screens?
A3: I work from home so multiple screens are a must. Having 4 allows me to put our company's POS system on one screen, communications system on another, Phone system on a third and my personal stuff on the fourth.
Even cooler than before!
Awesome collection Rich
Very nice setup! Thats a hobbyist dream setup
S*** you got it all
Ham, scanner enthusiast and a railfan, too! Beautiful setup, sir! Greetings from a fellow ham, scanner enthusiast and railfan! 73, Ken KO4AXN
Nice set up rich Roger Roger in a few weeks I need to order a portable scanner for the car
Great job Rich!!! Thanks again
Nice Setup
Looks good now you need some TV on the wall I use them for weather and news channels I like to think of myset up as a command center lol
I was recommended your first video, watched it and loved it, hope to see another upload from you soon! Like I said in my last comment I can’t even afford one scanner let alone multiple so I gotta say that’s a very impressive setup, I’d love some recommendations for a good scanner that can monitor p-25 digital trunked frequencies
We do railfan and radio as well. K6TJO & KN6ENZ. 73 HH ext. 11952
What's your electric bill every month? Great set up.
Why so many radios? I mean its all good, we all love radios, but is there a purpose behind having so many....or just something you wanted?
I'm figuring he might be into listening to many train, communications from around the country.
Wish I had that holy cow
Nice shack Rich....73's Corey N7STO

NICE SETUP !
Show us the attic
terrific job terrific job fantastic you number one you numero uno 73 from kb2uew
I couldn't quite catch what multi coupler to connect the scanners to 1 antenna. Curious to what you're using.
I have a couple Stridsberg MCA208A's.
Yeah, well ok. Why?
What's with the Kenwood KMC 9 desk mic it's not connected to anything might as well put it for sale I'll take it since I have a radio that I can use it on
It is connected to the Kenwood UHF radio in the cabinet via a Cat-5 extension.
Hey Rich do you run Pro96com on 4 GRE scanners on the same PC? If you do, could you make a video of how to do it. I am guessing that it starts with running Pro96com from 4 diff folders?
You can run multiple instances of it. With the current version you just run the same folder, older versions kept to ancillary files in its own folder but the current one uses standard Windows locations.
You have way to much money
