You know, you might be going about this the wrong way. In times past,
when I bemoaned the fact that I couldn't afford a radio, I've had people
offer to loan me one of theirs that they're not using. I don't have
anything surplus that's actually working, or I'd loan you one of mine.
One thing, though. Make sure you've budgeted for antennas, feedlines,
an antenna tuner, (if you need one,) and a power supply.

Hi folks,
I am a newbie to Ham Radio and a newbie to the club, so I'm writing to
ask for your help in picking a rig. I just passed my General exam so
many options are open to me and I'd like to explore a lot of those
options. I currently own a Baofeng HT and a Yaesu FT2900 two meter
transceiver, but no equipment for HF. I've been looking at HF VHF UHF
units. I've even looked at the Alesis KX3 and the Flex 1500. They
don't cover the VHF-UHF bands but they do appeal to me. Bottom line,
I don't want to spend more than a thousand dollars if possible. What
do you suggest? As Sergeant Schultz used to say on Hogan's Heroes, "I
know nothing." I'll really appreciate your suggestions.
