Hi, everyone:

I need to replace my old TS-440S and am planning to purchase a good
new/recent model transceiver in the $1000-$2000 range.  My primary
interests are:

    1) CW
    2) Contesting
    3) Digital modes.

I have not been following closely what is "in" lately, and I would
appreciate suggestions on:

- Which brand/model are preferred for the above (TS-570DG is one I´ve been
considering)
- Do you suggest any specific mods or accessories (my FoxTango Xtal filters
in the old 440 worked wonders).

Appreciate your feedback and I will summarize for the list.

73 - Kristinn, TF3KX
