Topband: Receivers

JT:  First choice for me would be a Kenwood TS830S with remote VFO, and 
second but about equal choice is the Kenwood TS930S.  The 830 you can fix 
easily while the 930 is getting long in the tooth.  930 as much slower 
tuning rate than the 830, but that can be fixed with a 6 to 1 or 10 to1 
Jackson reduction drive on the remote vfo, giving you sloooow and fast 
tuning rates.  Lots of 830's still on the air doing a terrific job.  You 
should have some money left over from your $1k, or buy a second as a spare 
and blow the entire $1k.  Good luck.  73 bob de w9ge  PS as others have 
mentioned Ten Tec Corsair II and remote vfo also a good choice, and has 
terrific qsk.
