The rig is nice and light with 5/25w FM output. Mine is the older version with 25kHz channel sep (see the RigPix to the right for other general details). However I have now modified to 12.5kHz channel seperation thanks to an upgrade kit from Peter at Garex. Garex own AKD and provide upgrade kits and support on their website. The upgrade was very straight forward and even the re-alignment wasn't scary with the help of another receiver.

Home antenna is a Diamond X50 co-linear at 30' above the ground, 6/8 wave on 2m.
