My radio needs are very modest for I am not a contester, or DXer, or even one who makes a lot of contacts but I
do listen quite a bit. I do like to have a fine radio and presently own one - the Kenwood TS-830S. I have no intention of parting with it. As far as modes go I operate HF primarily SSB and PSK31. I am trying to improve my CW ability however I have a problem with CW. Just like some people have mic fright I have CW contact fright. I like CW but I just can't do it and enjoy it. The final bit of information is the fact that my wife hates amateur radio, which causes me to occasionally put my radio in storage. I will digest all the thoughtful comments many of you made and make my decision. Although I do operate from home, you can see that for me perhaps getting away to the local state park or some other place away from home might provide me with the best operating enjoyment. Doing that would be best accomplished with the KX3.
