Tom, I was in a similar situation.  I had been away from ham radio for
quite some time and wanted to dive back in.  I, also, was looking for
"my last rig".

Well, Tom, I found it!  My K3 #859 is a wonderful radio!  A casual
operator can operate this radio right out of the box, but it is super
flexible and over time you might discover features and menu options that
let you feel even more at home with your K3.  By the way, my K3 is my
first solid state HF radio (I have a hollow state brain).

So if you want a truly great radio with incredibly impressive customer
service look no further than Elecraft.
