Was planning on getting the 2547 for my first base station, but am tempted by the 2995 for $200 more. Is it worth the extra $$$ or would I be better off putting the money in a better antenna etc?
I've been told the 2995 has better recieve, and can put out up to 250 watts with a good tune up?
Or would I be better off getting the 2547 and using my Shooting Star 225w? Or buying a KLV?
I was planning on a Imax 2000 antenna, what would be the next step up?
Thanks,
Stogie 525

Personally, I would opt for the 2995 and the I-Max combination.
Your station would be a force to recken with once you get the base of the I-Max at least 36 feet in the air and the 2995 opened up to its 250 watts or more capabilities.

Stogie,
We have had our 2995DX for about three years now and LOVE IT! 
While both are good radios if you want the Power & the 10/11/12 Meter bands, & other goodies go with the 2995DX and Fan Kit & you will be set.
