produced and why?

I know there will be lots of different opinions but I am interested in the
reasons behind these opinions.

Thanks!

Arguably, a late production Kenwood TS-830S might be considered, albeit
its a hybrid type radio. It has all the features that one might really
need and they still hold a reasonable value. With the '230 digital VFO
and some after market filters, the radio will provide excellent service.
The radio also can be serviced in the field, like their all-tube brethren.
