The history of my rigs in the seventies:
My first portable transceiver was a Trio Kenwood TR2200, 2 m FM, 6-channels, x-tals, 10 Watts Transistor PA.
Home: Semco-Set, TRX ( 1 Watt / 4 Watts) built with different components, STS4 AM/FM-TX, RX, VFO (Varios 48), 
100 W PA (QQE06/40), 10-Element Yagi.
A BOSCH KFT160 2 m taxi mobile TRX was the first mobile station equipped with 2 pairs of xtals (DB0WW  + 145.500 Mc).

1972
BOSCH KFT160, 2 m FM
6-channels mobile TRX with QQE 03/12
+  Antenna: 5/8 Lambda, mobile
In SSB I started with a second hand Belcom Liner 2, a 2 m x-tal TRX, followed a bit later by a portable IC-202E.
Antenna: 10-Element Yagi horizontal, rotator.
After moving to my new home in 1975 I was also operating ATV (Amateur Radio Television).
The TRX was homemade by design of DJ4LB.
At the beginning at the new home a Trio Kenwood TR2200GII, 2 m FM 12-channels xtal, portable TRX was used for VHF
before I bought the flag ship Trio-Kenwood TS700 as base station for 2375,00 Deutsch Marks,
which was a lot of bread that time. Antenna 10-Element Parabeam on a rotator.
A TR2300, 2 m FM 80-channels synthesizer was used as a mobile TRX, controlling a 10 Watts transistorized PA.
First 70 cm rig was called SRC-430 from STANDARD

 
From 1986 to 1995 I was using a Yaesu FT2700RH, Duo Band, 2 m / 70 cm FM TRX in different cars.
A portable 2 m Allmode TRX, called FT290R, was installed as mobile station aswell.
A Kenwood TR9130, 2 m Allmode TRX was mounted in a van.
In 1995 a Denpa MZ-22 mobile 2 m FM rig was replacing the FT2700RH and the TR9130 became a base station.
Denpa-MZ22 Mobile Transceiver 1985
1995 - 2002
Denpa MZ-22, 2 m FM
+  Antenna: 1/4 Lambda, on glass antenna
My latest mobile TRX is a Yaesu FT90R, Mini Duo Band, 2 m / 70 cm, which gets very hot running full power of 50 Watts.
The following photographs show the history of my equipment from 1972 until today:
