[SEDXC] Rig Recommendations for ~$500.00

[Chris Wynn]

I would suggest a Yeasu FT-107.  This was the radio w/a white face.  All controls are on the front, and this rig pre-dates the sub-menu trend.  I know it isn't the most "ritzy" rig in the world, but it works great for DXing and contesting.
I have used several rigs, from the 107 to the 1000, and the 107 is the way to go.

Subject: [SEDXC] Rig Recommendations for ~$500.00

Anyone have any HF rig recommendations for something that can be found
on the used market for around $500.00?

Primary interests: Chasing DX + Casual Contesting

Rig needs to be a reliable model that can be serviced easily if needed.

I'd like to get something a bit better, in the $1000 range, but it
just isn't going to happen.  I'm going to have a hard enough time
coming up with the $500 as it is.

Thanks
