Al,
Yes, but is it a difference you can discern without the use of special
test equipment?
If I can't hear the difference, then there is no difference.
Besides Collins, Heathkit, and Drake were perfectly capable radios. I
expect the 991 is equally capable and it offers as standard features
that are expensive options elsewhere.

Guess I'm not reading the chart the same way you are: I find the 991's specs
(sort of) in line with or even below decades-old rigs on the list from Atlas,
Collins, Drake, Heathkit, and Ten-Tec. There's quite a bit of difference
between the 991 and the top of the list (as in the "3" series Elecrafts etc.)
Now if your criteria for choosing a rig is one that will impress the ladies
with its looks, maybe the 991 is the way to go ;-)

Indeed, the FT-991 is on the list, way down toward the bottom, but its
vitals appear to be right in line with those at the top of the list.

The FT-991 was added back on 8/05. It is way down the list!

I think ICOM is a day late and a dollar short. Yaesu beat them to
it with the FT-991.
I have not found any performance tests on either one of these
radios. I might have to buy one and test it myself.
