I won't be back to the computer for a while but I thought I would ask about opinions on a new HF radio.
It's gotta have great CW functionality. I'd like to spend under a grand but a little over would probably work for the right option.
FT-991. Thinking hard about the non-A version. Looks like there have been more than a few complaints about it blowing up. I like the specs but the burning up scares me.
FT-1000MP. What can I say? Great radio. I know that much. I never owned a new rig before because I have always been too broke so buying another used radio is no big deal if it performs great.
TS-870S. I saw this on YouTube and the sound seems pretty incredible.
IC-7300. For the WOW factor, this takes the cake short of much more expensive radios. But A) I don't really want to spend over 1k and B) the bad publicity on the IC7100 scares me for not functioning well.
Anyway, I may end up getting something cheap like a Xiegu. Gotta get me something for Xmas.
Thanks in advance.
