I am amazed that no one mentioned Signal/One CX-7 A & B. What a marvelous radio that had all the bells and whistles for its time. Imagine a nixie tube digital read-out.fantastic speech processor ( when adjusted correctly) and all solid state except for the final in the 70's. 73 de Greg-N4CC

This is my 50th ham yr. & my 2 wk. anniverary with the K3. It's the best receiver I've used. I think as the Mustang car changed that world the TS 520 & the FT 101 did theirs. The 1st average guy transceivers that ran forever & were affordable. The Collins line was great but way beyond the average hams budget. The Drake twins & TR4 were at the top of that class too. For the roll your own guys Heath changed everything. There are thousands of SB200s & SB220s still plowing the way today. I think the K3 & Elecraft will be game changers too.It's history is to be written yet. The test of time is the final judge. k9il
