choice would be the K3 from Elecraft as the best value for the money.
I'd be proud to own any of the above, if I had the money..

And I'm not about to argue with you.. However I have found that people
fall into one of three categories when it comes to stuff like this....

Those with more dollars than sense

Those with more sense than dollars (Appears you land here)

Those with dang few cents. (added for PUN effect)


Of course back when I was in group 1, I measured the place where I was
going to put a radio. Looked at several radios, and decided the Kenwood
TS-2000 would fit in the spot just fine. Yes, that is how I choose my
main radio,, with a ruler.

Hmmmm. I fit in the fourth category -- neither money nor sense :-)

You will notice that Category 3 only referred to money. So you'd be a 3.
NO cents (Sense does not matter when you have no cents to spend)

By the way, that's where I fall for the next couple years too.
