My primary interest is receive quality, sensitivity, selectivity and the ability to hear through the ether. Putting aside the old adage that antenna is everything, it is, most of the old stuff we've all come to love is aging out, being sold for parts or will become a parts rig soon enough. As much as I love all the famous names, it's time to move on.

Leaving things like the Icom 7300 out of the equation because it's on the short list for a future full-on rig, would you buy one of these? I'm looking at a modern laptop to run it with or maybe set up this fairly recent desktop with 3 year old technology.
