My opinion and I'm sure there will be others. If you have the money and
want the best get an Omni VI+. If you need to get something a little
cheaper that may be somewhat easier for the average ham to repair then
get a good used Corsair I or II.
For those that really don't have much money and want a good under
$400.00 rig, usually under $300.00 (please no flames) look for a nice
Kenwood TS-820 or 820S. It hears as good as the Corsair II without some
of the bells and is much cheaper.
