 Oops.  Add "lower cost". :-)

 Are the Icom IC-705 and the Xiegu X6100 the only waterfall-included SDR's with 5-watts or more covering the HF+ frequencies?  I'm looking to recommend a "first radio" to folks *and* assure that radio can be used for VHF (contesting) in the future. :-)

For the '705, it's HF+++ (6, 2, 70).  For the 'X6100 it's HF+ (6).  

Yes, I know stuff can be added to other SDR's, but I'm thinking about a radio for new licensees who are not yet "makers".  Entry level folks with minimal access to radio coaches.
