My first rig was a BC-459 for 40M, a gift from W8IEQ, one of the OTs in 
the local ham club. Andy also included a power supply to run it. My mom 
and dad took a week vacation each year in NYC, and I send dad to Radio 
Row to buy an 80M ARC5.  I used them only on CW.  RX was an S38C -- real 
POS. Eventually I found a guy to sell me a BC348, a very nice step up.
