If you are good with computers and really like to tinker, you might find the Flex-Radio SDR 1000 a lot of fun and a great HF radio. With the 5000 now shipping, many of the hams who upgraded from the 1000 have/are selling theres. I did that. I got $1250 for mine and it had the 100 watts amp, Down East transverter, and the Delt 44 breakout box with the cables.

I've seen them sell for less than $1000 on the Flex-Radio reflecter. You can get to that through Flex' web site. http://www.flex-radio.com/

Now if you prefer plug and play, this is NOT the way to go. But if you like to tinker it has got to be the absolute best HF radio in that price range, in-my-humble opinion.
