I think my most favorite rig was the Drake pair, R4b and T4xb. My next most
favorite was the Kenwood TS-440. The rigs I was the most disappointed in
were the Galaxy V Mark 2, and the Ten-Tec Paragon. The Galaxy V was a hot
transceiver when I could keep it on the air, but I was always having
trouble with it. The Paragon was a nice transceiver, but it was just too
complicated. As I recall, it had over 200 controls on it, considering that
several of the buttons and switches were multiple purpose. Unless I used it
every day, I couldn't remember what all the various buttons and switches did.
