In the late 70′s early 80′s I used to own the Universe. Have been looking for pictures of this fine radio, but I ended up with a picture of the Palomar SSB, which looks identical. It was the radio I made my first QSO’s on SSB with.

The Yaesu FT-747GX
My previous radio was a very old Yaesu FT-747GX. The guy I bought it from in 2008 told me it had never been used. It just sat there in a warehouse. I did the power-mod to reduce power in SSB. The radio did have some problems. Like the VFO-encoder.. when going over the band with the frequency-knob was a bit of a problem at some times. But still, with the rs232 interface I was able to do all that I needed.
