Kieth, My vote is for the KWM2 because it brought the concept of transceivers to amateur radio. My second vote is for the Drake C line. I believe that was the turnaround point of amateur thinking about receiver performance. Prior to that time, the major consideration for receiver specs was 'sensitivity' - it did not matter how much noise was amplified, if it was more sensitive, it was better.
