When I first got licensed, my wife and kids bought me an ICOM IC-7100 for Fathers Day. That was in 2017. I still think it's an amazing radio as a base station. It has a million options and can really do anything that I ask of it. It's been great for experimenting and trying new avenues in the hobby.
Of course, mostly I'm a QRP portable guy these days, but I really do love this rig. Rock solid and fun.
