QRP version of the famous TS-430S -- performs well  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I picked up a Kenwood TS-430V about six weeks ago as of the time I am writing this. It's a great rig -- sensitive receiver, relatively quiet front end despite being an '80s synthesized general coverage rig, good RX audio except on AM (would be fine if I had the AM filter) and good TX audio reports. It has enough features to keep almost anyone happy without lots of excessive bells and whistles. Look at the reviews for the TS-430S and imagine it with a 10W PA and a different power connector.

This rig is pretty rare. It's probably a good choice for a QRP base rig if you can find one.
