OK, I might as well document my personal wish list:
500W is more than enough. I want it physically small and acoustically
quiet.
Solid state. Auto tune and QSK with K3. AC powered. Kit is fine. No
internal tuner, but see options below. Target price $2K.
Option: REMOTE/WEATHERPROOF auto tuner. Target price $1K.
Then I'll be happy (and quiet).
