  1. Another option which is becoming popular these days are more general purpose and proper software defined radios. These can be had for ATS-20+ prices and even lower but don't come in a case or with a user interface. The user interface is provided by a single board computer such as a Raspberry Pi and gives features like waterfall displays and large touch screens. A very good starter rig can be had for as little as $100 US which brings features found in the expensive solutions with RF performance of the mid-priced solutions. As with all radio, understanding how antennas operate is paramount.

  2. Brilliant! I used to have an Icom 706 mkII with a tunable inductance antenna (rather than a compensating antenna tuner). Great bit of kit, that. I would stand behind any Icom and the used market had some amazing bargains from time to time.
