How many radios do you own

[K6ELV]

This includes ham transceivers, scanners, receivers (am/fm or SW), and any other transceivers such as marine, aviation, CB, GMRS, etc. They can be working or non-working (but must in one peice) and can be boatanchor or modern. This does NOT include part 15 wireless devices such as cell phones, cordless phone, wireless routers etc. because everyone has those. I counted all of mine and I am up to 19 radios. About 5 are ham transceivers, and the other are AM/FM/SW receivers, scanners, and cb radios, and a few other micellaneous radios.

[K7MH]

I can't wait to see a response from Pat!!

[K8ERV]

Poorly worded. My radios own me.

TOM K8ERV Montrose Colo

[KA5ROW]

Just one for now a Icom ProIII. The most I have owned at once was three.

[VE3FMC]

I have thinned the herd down to 5. FT-950, FT-101E and an Icom 7000 for HF.
FT-60 HT and an old Radio Shack HTX-212.

Hmmmmmmmmm I must be about due to buy another one, it has been just over a year since I bought the FT-950 new. I will soon set the Icom 7000 back up to use on 6. 2 & 440 once I get the beam up.

I did not count my 6 old BC receivers, as I don't consider them ham equipment. I counted the ones I can talk on :D

[SV9OFO]

Voted for +20.

Doctor, am I sick?

[KE7DOO]

Counting my stereo and clock radio, I own seven radios, but only five are what I would consider to be "ham radio" related. My Icom 718, Icom T7H dual band 2m/70cm HT, my Alinco DJ296 1.25m HT, my Hallicrafters S-19R Sky Buddy, and my old Uniden Bearcat BC278CLT 100 channel
scanner.

73, Henry

[KB3LAZ]

But but but..my AM gear is in multiple pieces. Will count the Transmitter and Receiver separate but exclude any other extras and vote. =P

[WA4BRL]

I voted 16-20 based on a quick estimate. Upon actually counting, I realize that I've owned 29 radios over the years and still have 25 of them. I counted only transmitters, receivers, and transceivers, save for two cases. One is a VFO -- the HG-10 for my DX-60. The other is my SB-200 amplifier; not technically a radio, but undeniably "RADIO"! More so (in my mind) than my little solid-state 2-meter amps.

Had I counted all the matching accessories and other ham accoutrement... my oh my!

Do you mean IC-730?

[KY0F]

This is embarassing..... I have 11 working transceivers, (not counting the one I contracted for this morning), but I did count the one in my fox hunt box.

It's embarassing because I've only been a ham for three years. :-)

QRP is playing it's sirens song..... And of course, I NEED an APRS position unit.

I could be in the next level by the end of summer. :-)

Lol when the bug bites, it bites hard.

[KC8VWM]

I own all of my radios.

[K9ASE]

I'm budget limited and have only been a ham for 1.5 years so I squeaked in with 5

[N0WYO]

I don't think I was doing that good 18 months into the hobby, Tom. Just wait till you're a QCWA member. At the rate you're going, you'll rival Pat by then.

[K8JD]

Currently in use, in shack; TS440, TS520, HTX10 (10M only),
In reserve for camping trips; 3 MFJ QRP rigs for 80, 40 and 30M.
On shelf pending restoration; TS700a 2M multimode, Clegg 6 M AM rig.
Mobiles occasionally used; Radioshack HtX 242 2M FM, Motorola CDM 70cM FM (2).
also...
About a dozen rigs, also a few transmitters pending restoration, Johnson 6n2, Heath AT-1...etc.
Adding my two favorite portable receivers, GE superradio 3 (great for AM DX), and, finally A Grundig YB300pe, small portable for AM/FM SW AM general listening.,
I keep telling my XYL I need a new rig for retirement but,somehow, she doesn't get it.

Yep, IC-730. Bad typo, good catch. Thanks Sue.
I like the older Icoms.

[WA6MHZ]

I don't really know. In fact, I have NO IDEA!!! Yes, there are THAT MANY radios. HUNDREDS of them!!! THOUSANDS of them!!!! NO kidding. I estimated around 2000 at one point, and gave up counting. I am up to somewhere around 300-500 here at work alone.

You name it, I GOT IT (EXCEPT for a Hallicrafters SX-88, SX-115 and SR-2000)

It is EASIER to name off the radios I DON'T have than DO have.

[KB9LBC]

Here goes. I currently own the following;

2 Yaesu FT-8900R's
1 Icom IC-2100H
1 Uniden SMU4525KT
2 Uniden SHM1525DH
1 Uniden SMU250KTS
1 Midland LMR on 6m model unknown I think 70-0375 C
1 Midland LMR on 70cm model unknown 70-14xx I think
1 Yaesu FT-530
1 Yaesu FT-60R
1 Yaesu VX-8R
1 Yaesu VX-170
5 GE NPC-200 VHF
1 GE NPC-200 UHF
1 Uniden BCD396XT
1 Icom IC-R20
1 Icom IC-R10 Discriminator tap modified.
1 Icom IC-230
1 Yaesu FTC-2645
1 Uniden SPH-58E
1 Standard HX-240V
1 Motorola MTX9000 B7 900mhz w/ NMN6242B Pub Safety Mic
1 Motorola Astro Saber II VHF
1 Uniden AMX-500B/C programmer (have both B & C ROMs.
1 Uniden AMX-501 programmer

All are complete and operational. Some radios are loaned out right now.
I counted the programmers, the 500 due to the size, and the 501 due to being not hard to find,
but not just lying around everywhere either.

[K8MHZ]

Voted for +20.

Doctor, am I sick?

I've got over 20 that aren't even ham radios!

[K8MHZ]

Not counting the drawer full of FRS radios, I have 10 working radios just in my kitchen and living room.

More if you count the wireless thermometer!

[KG4NEL]

Just one, for now.

[WA6MHZ]

Need a category on the poll:
"MORE THAN 1000"

Lesseee how many check THAT one! I CAN!

If you ever have to move Pat;
We will start a pool on how many 14' box truck loads it will take to move all your gear, manules and radio related stuff. My money is on Eight and a third.

[KB2CRK]

Right now I have about 30 radios. About 20 of them are Motorola commercial radios that have been re-tasked to 2 meter, 6meter, and 440 mhz ham. It is time to start selling the ones that have been put on the shelf as they were replace by better suited or newer radios.

[K3ROJ]

The only radios I am keeping is of course the Flex 5000A, Flex 1500, Elecraft QRP transceiver and mobile Kenwood. My old rigs, a FT847, IC910H, IC756PRO and more are going to be donated to a good cause such as a school type club. Even though they all work well, my Flex 5000A can't be beat.

[AJ4LN]

Probably something around 50 if you count all those different types of radios (seems like a very broad question). Still over 20 if you just limit it to transceivers (over 20 CB's alone from the late 1970's CB era, and some FRS/GMRS and MURS). Also likely around 20 if you just limit it to receivers. 6 if you limit it to "working ham transceivers", which would make a nice poll topic in itself.

[KC8VWM]

Q: How many radios do you own?

A: I own all of them.

[AJ4VA]

FT-60R, FT-7900R, FT-8800R, FT-857D and several FRS radios.

Just sold FT-90R, FT-60R and a Wouxun.

[KG4NEL]

Just one for now, an IC-706MKIIG.
