My Radio Collection

I collect mainly Kenwood HT's. I have a few Motorola, ICOM and various Chinese ones too. Some of the models I own several units of them, multiple units per box and several boxes for the larger numbers. The storage boxes are sorted by model type. The model type is written on the end of the plastic storage box using a black Sharpie pen.

Many of the radios are UHF since that seems to be where the majority of the Ham digital voice activity is found. Not so much on VHF. In any case I do like to get both the UHF and VHF versions on the various models.

I'm currently looking for a good deal on a few Kenwood NX-1200DUK2 radios in like new, or new, condition to add to my collection.

I also just recently purchased a clean looking used TK-3701D radio for dPMR446 from a seller in the UK. That's about the best place to find one. I wanted one to see if I can get it to communicate with my Icom IC-F4162DT radios with the full featured dPMR mode. The protocol for the digital mode is nearly identical between dPMR and dPMR446.

I was hoping to program the dPMR radios for dPMR446, BUT there are some differences between dPMR446 and dPMR that seems to render the two modes incompatible. This is based on my reading for the two ETSI standards. 

I now have radios for the following digital modes: D-Star, DMR, P25, NXDN, dPMR and dPMR446. Nothing for System Fusion yet. Not really sure if I want to get one since that mode is specific to Yaesu radios. All the other digital modes are available from multiple manufactures.  

I have a spreadsheet I put together so I can remember which programming software is used for which radio. 

I also have separate folders for each radio model, and sub folders if more than one band split is available, for the code plugs for each one.

When I receive a used radio I try to save the original code plug. Part of the fun collecting these is trying to figure out who, or where, they were originally owned by or came from. One I figured out was used by the maintenance staff at a nuclear power station on the east coast.
