JP:
The new Icom IC-7300 DUC/DDC SDR transceiver is
$1,500 and the real deal. It covers all the 1.8 through
50 MHz bands and has an ATU and nice panadapter.
Your $1K budget limit needs to be reconsidered. I
also think the 7300 prices may go down a bit soon.

Hi folks,
I am a newbie to Ham Radio and a newbie to the club, so I'm writing to
ask for your help in picking a rig. I just passed my General exam so
many options are open to me and I'd like to explore a lot of those
options. I currently own a Baofeng HT and a Yaesu FT2900 two meter
transceiver, but no equipment for HF. I've been looking at HF VHF UHF
units. I've even looked at the Alesis KX3 and the Flex 1500. They
don't cover the VHF-UHF bands but they do appeal to me. Bottom line,
I don't want to spend more than a thousand dollars if possible. What
do you suggest? As Sergeant Schultz used to say on Hogan's Heroes, "I
know nothing." I'll really appreciate your suggestions.
