Are you in the market for an amateur radio HF rig? This video describes the various “must have,” “good to have,” and “nice to have” features. This is Episode 22 for the Ask Dave video series; the series is devoted to answering your questions about amateur radio, particularly those questions of interest to those new to the hobby.
Thank you for watching my videos! My channel, “Ham Radio Answers,” is here to help you become an active, on-the-air amateur radio operator! I am unique in that I provide the only set of YouTube videos that accompany the ARRL license manuals, section for section. I try hard to answer every question individually if I can.

I’m often asked what equipment I use to create the videos. The devices are the Panasonic HDC-TMT90 video camera, Tascam DR-05 audio recorder, Audio-Technica ATR-3350 lapel microphone, and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W560 digital camera. Software used: CyberLink PowerDirector 13 on a Toshiba S55-A5294, also using Smoothdraw 4.0.5.0, FastStone Image Viewer 5.3, FastStone Capture 8.0, and Audacity 2.1.1. You can see how my studio is set up by viewing https://youtu.be/wFSQ8vtNA5A.
