Most modern amateur rigs are now SDR based. The big brands (YAESU, ICOM etc) seem to lean into SDR as QOL improvements (large bandwidth real time spectrum analysers to see what's going on across the whole band, Digital Noise Réduction that really works, etc), while preserving the heavily appreciated look and feel of a classic rig.

The Chinese SDR-based rigs have more unique interfaces, and there are many to choose from.

It's worth bearing in mind that most "Classic" desktop rigs output 100W, across 1MHz - 50MHz for HF - this needs to be supported by components that take up place.

Devices that operate at 10W are much smaller (and are typically chained with a larger indépendant amp..)
