Here goes...I'm expecting a lot of opinions but: What would you consider to be the best HF radio for me and my 5er? Going to go full time in about a year and to be honest have been out of touch with the latest rigs for several years. Important is (of course) size and user friendliness (I'm no smarter now). I would use SSB and CW (if that's still around lol) a little I guess. No desire for digital formats...just a rag chew or leisurely contact now and then and probably a LOT of just listening. Need to be able to use it from RV for sure or from TV...maybe (antenna would be interesting when hitched). So...what say you other experts. My top dollar will be $999 and I don't mind buying a pristine "previously owned" unit. Thanks for your help!
