My thoughts are strictly subjective. I do not have the sophisticated equipment to evaluate radios. Besides that, the differences are rather small and almost within measurement accuracy. I just evaluated the radios strictly from an operating point of view. They are all top performers and anyone would be proud and pleased to own one. George, W6GF

As long as there is healthy debate on radio performance the engineers and sales departments of all manufacturers will continue to strive to produce a 'better widget' and WE the CONSUMER are the major winner are we not? Not too sure about 'worship' but once I got to speak the 'His Lordship' and heard a rumour he was to get a pay rise. (Did you grant one Wayne?)....Chuckle! Just as a side note, I was listening to a couple of "senior citizens' who were both retired Professional Engineers, one who was heavily involved with TAIT electronics, and there comments on their K3's bordered on embarrassing. Full of praise for the K3 performance on both CW and SSB and it is these comments on 20M that are heard and listened too by many prospective customers the manufacturers love to hear. But your right I think Dave, best to let it slide, and get back to the DX...using a K3 is even better than admiring one...:-) 73's to all, Gary On 25 April 2011 08:00, David Gilbert <[email protected]> wrote: > > Comment on what?
