I agree completely with Howard re the FT950, which serves as my HF backup. In my 50+ years as a DX SWL, tuning "blind" (i.e. with a knob) never really bothered me. SWL's know where the signal is supposed to be; we just need to hear it. Once I got my license and spent some time with the Flex, I realized that big-knob-twiddling is a real time-wasting PIA.
As to the "almighty" K3, the piddly little scope on the add-on K3 panadaptor isn't even in the same ballpark as PSDR on a good monitor.
