I think it is a little more than that, I think he is blinded by Icom! When I had my IC-7700 he became a real PITA!

VA7OJ is highly biased toward ICOM gear. For the record, I am highly biased towards Elecraft gear. I am sure we both have our reasons.

The transceivers near the top of Adam's list are all pretty close in performance; possibly close enough to be indistinguishable in actually use on-air. A K3 with the new synths may have been been better still. 73, Wayne N6KR On Mar 12, 2015, at 7:53 AM, Chip Stratton <c...@strattonfamily.us> wrote: > Adam Farson VA7OJ has an article in the current March/April 2015 QEX > discussing the use of Noise Power Ratio (NPR) to help define a > receiver's performance in a crowded band in a way that might be more > illuminating than the simpler two tone tests.
