I am looking to purchase my first HF rig.
Options I am kicking around:
1. Buy a used radio like a Kenwood TS440 - looks like for between $400 and $700 I can get a working specimen of decent condition.
2. Buy a new moderately priced rig like:
- Kenwood TS 2000 ($1500)
- Yaesu FTDX3000 ($2500)
- Yaesu FT950 ($1300)
- ICOM 718 ($750)
- ICOM 7410 ($1800)
Thoughts?
