[Elecraft] Which rig to buy...consider this

[David Perrin]

Hi-
which rig to buy for a new operator, well after 52 years of experience, if I were to begin again, and had the money for a new rig I would definately buy American, and having tried the Flex 1500 and Flex 3000 and have a K2 and K3 and Orion Ii and have tried a TenTec Eagle. That is where my hard earned dollars would go. Simple to use, complete with tuner, computer connectivity, and enough power to get out even if the first few antennas you build aren't quite perfect..  my 2 cents.
