After helping sell the mobile units for a friend of mine that is a SK, I am
thinking of getting back into the hobby again.
What are some suggestions for a base rig, used under $800.. I have had
Kenwood and Yaesu in the past, but have not kept up with everything. I have
seen Kenwood 930/40 on ebay but seem to remember problems with those units..
So I am open to listen.
TIA

I've had a 940SAT for 18 years - bought second hand from another ham -
and it hasn't given me any trouble ever! It has perhaps the best
receiver for it's time, and maybe still outdoes the new ones except it
doesn't have DSP. I love it. Go for it. Get one with the cw
filter(s). I have two inside and it's really narrow, if you want it to
be. Good luck.
