Now is your chance to choose my destiny on my next HF base purchase at my expense.

Let the games begin!

Don't forget to post why you choose the radio of my purchasing.​

i voted for the ft450d because you have a lot of older radios their so it would seem that cost is an issue and the 450 is the newest. ive seen too many people sell on a rig they had a fault with so buy it new and don't look back. if you ever need 2m and 70cm you can always buy a chinese dual bander. Though if you do want a new TS2000 and money is no object then go for it. I dont like the icom's because i think those models are overpriced for their features as well as getting older now.
Its best to remember that surface mount radios have a shorter lifespan than say the yaesu ft902 and in older radios the repair costs can cold a substantial portion of the value.
Also i would always buy a radio with a built in tuner because ive damaged too many cb radios with bad antennas but none of those listed have tuners.

Neither.
My choice would be to look for a second hand FT2000.
I have seen some good ft's on eBay of late at a good $. You will appreciate the far superior rx of a ft2000 then any of the rigs that you have posted in the poll
