The 480 is definitely the most accessible.
It rules.
I have one, and am thinking of getting another one.

Subject: thinking of changing rigs


I am thinking of changing rigs from my ts2000.

Candidates are
icom 746 pro
icom 756 pro
kenwood ts480

I would like to hear from anyone who has actually operated these rigs to

get a feel for their performance and useability.

I don't need anything over 100 wattts, in fact, any other rig
suggestions 
are welcome.
I'm mostly looking for better selectivity and sensitivity than I seem to

get with the 2000.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.
