Thank you all so much for your replies, they have been enormously helpful! I do intent on getting the General, just ordered the ARRL study book for that license and it should be here Tuesday. But because of my location there is no testing sessions for at least another month. It seems that what might be best for me is to go with two separate rigs. I like the 450 very much, and have also heard the ICOM 718 and the Kenwood TS480 thrown into the mix. I have several votes here for the 450, so that may be the one unless you guys think otherwise. I will be sure to compare the specs as best I can. Can anyone make a recommendation for VHF/UHF rigs? I'm sure the equipment for these radios are likely cheaper than HF rigs.
