Ameritron 811H 600 Watts for HF
Flex Radio 1500 (in a small package) 5 Watts 1.8 to 54 Mhz
I have really enjoyed this rig, I received it in August 2010.
Have made many QRP contacts on CW and digital modes.
The receiver in this thing is great. Have also spent a lot of time
tuning the shortwave bands with it. It has Synchronous AM Detection.
You NEED to get one of these!

Zenith M660A circa 1964 (I have had this about 40 years) It was
my older brother's and I used it as a teenager to shortwave listen and
learned morse code even though I did not become a ham until i was 23 years old.
BK 2005B Signal Generator
Radio Shack DX-394 (A decent receiver)
Lafayette KT-340 circa 1964 with the matching speaker, this sounds great on shortwave.
Tec Sun PL-600 Portable (Excellent)
Tec Sun PL-600 Portable Shortwave Receiver. AM - SSB - CW
I got this in the summer of 2010 and this has been used more than anything else!
I love to sit in the living room recliner when the family has gone to bed and listen to
shortwave broadcast stations with the whip antenna. It is nice to lean
back in the recliner and copy CW ststions on the ham bands.
As of August 2010 these are going for about $78 shipped from China on EBAY.
Like the Flex 1500 above...You NEED one of these.
