What does an amateur radio laboratory or shack contain?
Transceiver: A transceiver is a device that can transmit and receive radio signals. The
Radio amateurs use transceivers to communicate with other radio amateurs.
Antenna: Antennas are essential for sending and receiving radio signals. Radio amateurs
often build and experiment with their own antennas.
Power supply: Radio equipment generally needs to be powered by current
continuous, so a
Power supply is essential (13.8 VDC 25/40 A).
Computer: Radio amateurs generally use computers to control their transceivers,
decode digital signals and keep track of their contacts.
Measuring equipment: Radio amateurs use measuring equipment, such as testers, oscilloscopes
and
spectrum analyzers, to test and adjust their equipment.
Soldering tools: Many radio amateurs build or repair their own equipment, so
that soldering tools are often a common feature of a welding laboratory
ham.
Books and manuals: Radio amateurs often have a collection of books and manuals on
electronics and amateur radio.
Workspace: An amateur radio laboratory needs adequate workspace to
build and repair equipment, as well as to operate the radio station.
