Elecraft KX2 transceiver

Apart from a few disadvantages this looks a fine choice for HF. It is very small, it has a good RX and can produce 10W and could even be used handheld.

But....
  • The internal batteries have to be removed to charge.
  • It does not cover 160m or 6m.
  • It is expensive in the UK, but has a 2 year warranty and good technical support.
  • The internal auto-ATU is extra.
  • It does not have an SDR display.
  • No 2m or 70cm.
I quite expect Elecraft to come out with a Mk2  which allows charging in situ of the internal batteries. One thing is certain: if I was to buy one then this Mk2 version would be released the very next day!
