The 440 is the one with the dot issue, and most sellers will say if it has been addressed/fixed. The 430 has a relay issue that can be fixed easily. Tons of info online about these rigs. Either one in good working condition is a very solid HF transceiver, and you'll hear lots of them on the air.

Best advice I can give you? Don't get in a hurry and do an impulse buy. There are LOTS of rigs out there that come up for sale. Take your time to find the right one, and you will get the best bang for your buck.

If you need to scratch the HF itch and already have an android phone/tablet, you can download Pocket Ham Bands Transceiver from Google. You can listen on a "radio" and pick up stations from all over the world with it. It will also control several Yaesu rigs, but I don't do that with it. The program is free, and works great.
