Josh:
On the single or dual band hf rigs, the past has shown that today's HAMs don't want to pay that much for a limited rig.
Ten Tec tried it with a small mobile hf rig that used band modules, they sold a few but not near as many as Icom sold the 706 series.

And I suspected Icom would go for around $700 or more on the 705, wich is why the Chinese qrp rigs are going to mop the floor with them. Then again, China doesn't yet have something that does what the 705 does. Who knows what the future will bring!

Also, Belize is a decent run on 5w, but cw does seem to get out when not much else will.

Has an MFJ Cub but is looking to get something from Elecraft's KX line

Matt285:
That's a big jump from MFJ to Elecraft. It's too bad they aren't producing the KX1 and K1 anymore. The used value on them is crazy now. I would like to have a K2 some day, however there are so many more features on the other brands for the same price or less. How do you like the Cub? Have you made any contacts on it yet? I'm thinking about getting one for 20m. Ive been wanting to build another small kit for a while.

QRP:
I recently saw a K1 in good condition that had two bandmodules (80/40 and 40/20)
and a built-in ATU and was sold for 170 USD.
I was stupid enough not to buy it.

Matt285:
I've seen them upwards of $500.00 on Ebay
