Default Survey: What was your first radio?

First Receiver: Knight Kit Star Roamer
First Transmitter: Eico 720 (This was a 100 Watt CW transmitter but as a
Novice we tuned only for 90 out)

The Eico is now in a museum (Plymouth MI) the Star Roamer long gone.


First receiver: Knight Span Master, soon replaced by a Hallicrafters S-108.

First transmitter: Knight T-60 which I still have.

Many more since then...Heathkit, Drake, Collins, Kenwood, Icom, etc.
Currently have only an Icom 706 and a few HTs.
