Actually, I'd want to know something about the potential user, since my
impression of Flex is that they're a little complicated -- making the
learning curve a bit complex.
Since this is the Elecraft list, and we see deals on solid, used K3's,
that's a good recommendation.
But if we're really talking "first radio" then any good clean
semi-recent HF rig would do nicely.
The K3 is more radio than the typical "entry level" rig from KenYaeIco,
and one of those would be good enough.
A K3S would be the perfect second radio (until the K4 is out).

I would only buy an HF Rig from Flex or Elecraft for the same reason.
Customer support for past or future functionality. Both talk directly to active
hams. They listen and make changes. Quickly.

Missed the original post, but if this is a "first" radio, well, I've noticed
that we all seem to buy something, use it a while, learn, our interests change, we trade
for something different.
That first choice depends a bit on what the OP wants to do (100w is probably
important) and it's good to get something expandable, but...
Perfect is the enemy of good enough, and a solid used K3 is going to be better than
"good enough."

Did the original poster (N7TGC) ever say he wanted to go portable? If he’s
looking for a desktop rig, I’d start with one of the used K3 rigs that we see
for sale on this list.
