Matt:
I have the 9406 and love it.  Tuning is a bit fast, but you get used to it. 
It uses a vernier type tuning mechanism which has a pointer that you can 
feel.it must have some compression in the transmitter, as it packs a 
surprising amount of punch for ten watts.

The price is a bit steep for a monobander, but look for one used. 
Personally, I am now looking for the 9402 which is the same rig but for two 
meters.

If you find it for less than $250, buy it.  You'll have a lot of fun for the 
price, and it doesn't take a mammoth power supply o
Hope this helps.
r batery to run it.
