I wasn't sure which area was the better bet for posting this, so apologies.

  I have a couple decent looking options that I can pick up for a HF rig, but 
as a novice was looking for some feedback on which might be more appropriate   
for a newbie, and which might last me through more of the growth cycle:        
                                                                               
Kenwood TS-430S - Still in original box and apparently only really used for a  
few field days since it was purchased. Does not come with any accessories other
than mic and power cable. Good price though.                                   
                                                                               
Yaesu FT-101ZD - Looks like a MK0 as it does not have AM or FM modes, does have
4 FILTERS:                                                                     
- XF-10HW                                                                      
- XF-8.9HC                                                                     
- XF-8.9HS                                                                     
- XF-8.9HP                                                                     
Also comes with Power Supply, 2 Desk Mics, SWR Tuner. Price is a little higher 
than the Kenwood, but owner might be open to trade for some commercial 
equipment I have kicking around.

Thoughts?
