The dish head shows the G5500 rotor on the winch controlled lift. The green box is the antenna T/R relay and preamp. The preamp can be changed for each band that does not have a preamp at the dish head.,

The small rack under the deck is the power rack. It has +24, -24 volt converters which run on 12 v for travel (ovens etc.). The top deck is +24 @ 14A, -24 @ 5A and +13.6 at 27A. These are 115vAC supplies which run on the Honda motor generator. When the AC supplies are on, they shut down the DC converters and switch the power to AC supplies. The top transverter is 1296.
