I can understand not wanting to spend the cash. You have to really be gonzo
in it to make it worthwhile. Elecraft makes a nice product, but their
ordering process is confusing. You can configure just about every option on
the rig when you buy it, but they offer all kinds of esoteric options that
can get confusing. It's also too damned expensive, but I reckon there isn't a
mass market for this type of stuff.

I designed my rig to be used mostly for Morse code and digital modes, so I
have some very narrow filters installed, and I have the panadapter so I can
see signals on the band in real-time. Very handy.
