I have a budget of around $1000, so I'll be looking for used rigs.
What radio would you recommend, and why? What criteria should I use
in deciding on a radio?
For around $1000, you can buy and build a K2/100, which is in the top 5
of rigs in terms of strong adjacent signal handling. Some add-ons will
cost more, like SSB, 160m, Noise Blanker, DSP or antenna tuner, but you
can buy and install those as you see fit.
Of course, you'll have to build it, which could either be a bonus or a
deficit, depending on your perspective.
