7300 is the most popular rig that we check in on our net on a daily basis. They can be had used for $800 - $1000, QRZ swap meet. All the features that a ham just getting on HF could want. And not over crammed with stuff.
Presently running a TS 890 here. With a TS 830 as backup.
Yaesu FT 890 at was my first HF rig. $550. I'm still using it too.
No slowdowns here. Using Gmail since it's inception. Fi customer with a backup service. We have YouTube premium maybe I'm getting away with something. No ads and no buffering.
I left with 15,000 karma points and eleven years as a Redditer. Sad to leave ornithology and many other subs, it will take awhile to get those folks to migrate.
Nice but pricey.
