Still the workhorse for HF/6m operation in my shack. I use the FT-920FM mostly for operating all PC-based modes like PSK, RTTY, MFSK16, JT65/9 and Hell,
but also on CW and SSB.
The radio is completely remote controlled by an Windows 7 PC running WSJT-X 1.7 and MixW 2.19 and the RigExpert interface.
Homebuild interfaces and software controll the automatic antenna switching and rotating as well as switching On/Off of the power supplies.
The PC itself can be started via Wake-On-Lan and is controlled with the Windows Remote-Desktop-Protocol (RDP).
So at the moment I can operate the station in digital modes via LAN with Notebook, Tablet PC and even Smartphone.
As I get a new Internet connection in January 2017 and a new router as well, there is a good chance to connect to the station from almost everywhere in the near future.

Just purchased the TS-480SAT in Dezember 2016 as a replacement for the TS-450SAT which started to make some trouble with the receiver.
I'll use the TS-480SAT mainly for portable operations when on holidays, but as it's equiped with 270Hz and 500Hz CW filters, it may become my main radio for the CW mode soon.
There is no interface for the digital modes yet, but the cables for the RigExpert will be ready until the next /p operation ;-)

An Oldie but Goldie, got this one in 1991 and this radio was operating from all continents exept South-America and Antarctica.
So far a perfect trancveiver for DXpeditioning it started some trouble with the receiver during the last year.
Will see if I can fix it as soon as I have the time to, but will keep it in the shack anyway as lot's of memories are connected with this radio.
