Radio Pictures

If you're a Ham radio operator or enthusiast, you'll find this site with pictures of radio rigs interesting. RigPix ( http://www.rigpix.com/index.shtml ) provides over 1950 pictures of radios.

The radios are searchable by keyword or browsable by manufacturer. A list of manufacturers is on the left side of the page. Each manufacturer name has, in parentheses beside it, the number of pictures available for that model.

Choose a manufacturer. You'll see that each manufacturer's page is divided into subcategories in the left panel, including Mobile VHF/UHF, Base VHF/UHF, and Handies/Portables (different manufacturers have different categories.) The middle of the page contains listings of the radios in a table with the following columns: Pix Model, Band/QRG, Mode, and Quicknote (which seems to be a section for bits of information like date of manufacturer and number of channels.)

The model number is linked. Click on it and you'll get a page of information about the rig -- and a picture, of course. Not all pictures are photographs. Some of them are catalog scans -- there are even occasional drawings.

The middle of the site's front page contains a search engine if you'd rather search by keyword. On the right side of the front page there are topical listings of pictures, including Linear amplifiers, early TV-sets, and Tubes/Valves. This site also has a limited selection of schematics and user manuals. Worth a look.
