I'm torn between getting the Explorer 14 (~ $300) or going whole-hog on the TH7DX (~ $450). I like the broad-bandedness of both of these, and like the idea of the 40m option on the Explorer 14. Is it simply a matter of "Ya gets what ya pays fer" or is there a clear choice I'm not aware of yet? At the moment, these two have been the most highly recommended. But I am not opposed to considering other models (TH5), or other manufacturers. I should have thought of asking the net earlier; I need (want) to decide by 3-22 or 3-23 (a week). Any information, pro or con, will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, John Burgess Tektronix, Inc
