I ordered just the 10 watt kit and a 6Khz filter, which will allow me to play a lot before I get the 100 watt amp and the atu.
I don't contest or DX, so its nice to not have to get a lot of filters, and a 2nd receiver. I do want the band scope though! The soft entry makes it a bit better than having to plunk down a truck load of cash....
