Mike It's refreshing to hear from someone who is not considering buying the 100w kit with almost every single option on day one !
Building the basic kit will give you a first class rig at a very competitive price and will give you the confidence to go back inside and add options when you need them. It might be wise to save up and buy and install more than one option at a time, just to save repeatedly opening up the covers, but that is all. The basic kit you refer to comes with DSP IF filtering, and a 2.7K roofing filter, so you needn't order any other filters, unless you're interested in AM/FM, or you're a confirmed CW addict. Filters are one of the easiest options to fit. There's just a small snag with new options (such as the 2m module) - when they're first released, there can be a backlog, and experience shows us that release dates tend to move forward too !

Just the basic 10watt kit, the ATU and maybe a Filter. I would assume that the hardest part, would be the original build. Is it? As time and cash becomes available, I will add to it. Is it all easy to add later, or is there some option, because of complexity, that I should install at the beginning? It will be replacing a Kenwood TS-570, so don't need to start with a lot of options to see a big difference. I'm planing on using a Heil Goldline microphone, that I was using with the TS-570. I just joined the list here, yesterday.
