If i wanted big numbers, I would keep to a stock radio, and then get 2-3 amplifier stages to get some big numbers. LOL. Buying one of those big radios with all the extras is a waste. Unless you like all those little toys on the export radios. I like a standard SSB chassis or one of the true amatuer radios. Not an export radio. From my dealings with them in the past, they are overpriced garbage. Just my 2 cents though.
