David,
The 520S is supposed to be the best one. For a few more bucks,
get a TS-820S. I've got one and I really like it. 160-10 with DC
or 110VAC built in. Variable speech processor, 6146 finals.

If you want the WARC bands, get a TS-830S. This rig has a
few more bells and whistles.

All of these rigs are basically the same. Very solid, reliable rigs with
excellent performance (IMO).

I've seen some of these (only on the net) and have become interested in
maybe purchasing one in the future.

My question is: which model is the best? Other than the fact that the 520
has no 160m band (I believe this is correct), what are other differences?

Thanks!
David
