    Dude, get a Flex 3000 or 5000, what ever you can afford. You won’t need all
    the audio stuff and they truly have the best audio quality. Just a
    suggestion.

    Fantastic station Larry! I truly enjoy watching your videos! Can you tell
    me what brand and model EQ you are using above the Technical Pro amp?
    THANKS! 73’s KC9NKU

    @KB1PTH I run line out signals from each receiver through a mixer, then to
    the PA amp. You could also just run signals right to the PA but I use
    external mixer since I have more signals than the PA has inputs. The PA has
    70 volt line out, this line runs to 70 volt line transformers on each
    speaker in different rooms etc and there is a volume control on each
    speaker, this allows for several speakers without loading the 8 ohm output.
    The PA has a master volume.

    @wawmjansens2 that sounds great, it is a fun and useful hobby and there are
    so many different aspects to it, so many different things you can get
    involved with or not, something for everyone. I have been a ham since age
    13 in 1977 and it has been a big part of my life ever since then!

    @RadioHamGuy oh yes from what I’ve been exposed to as far as HAM Radio
    goes, I find it really interesting as to the number of ppl I hear from
    listening on the scanner,as well as a few really great contacts and friends
    made along the way from Extras to newbies to CB’ers occasionally, both in
    face to face and over the air. Yea I’m shocked some HAMS will use GMRS so
    yeah but hey it’s all that ever expanding network of contacts & people that
    make it so much fun

    Yes, the desk does move out from the wall very easily. It is on wheels.
    Also the desk folds down so if I would have to move it out of the room
    through a doorway, it would fit ok.

    That is great, you worked at Heil Sound in the 70’s, very interesting.
    Thanks for leaving a comment. I talk to Bob on the radio and email once in
    a while and watch Ham Nation etc, have a bunch of his mics around here and
    they all work great. Always changing the setup around here so made a few
    more changes since this video even, lol. I need to do a new video again I
    guess with the latest upgrades. Keeps getting better but that is part of
    the fun I guess on trying to improve things.

    @RadioHamGuy oh yes the forever eternal battle of cables and equipment lol
    it never ceases to amaze me what you gotta do to make the equipment play
    nice. 🙂 I’m just pretty much getting a feeling for HAM Radio and I’m
    definitely reviewing the Tech and General Class licenses for when I get
    training in CERT I’ll probably look into ARES as well

    I’d love to know how you worked out all the wiring for this console, Larry.
    Must be a real “rat’s nest” back there. Did you draw out a schematic to
    help work out the big hookup? Would love to see the back of the console!
    Fabulous video. Thanks mate. Rob VK3BVW

    That’s got to be one of the most beautiful op consoles I’ve seen, and I’ve
    seen lots. VERY nice job indeed. Thanks for posting.
