If the 991 is so good why did Sherwood rank it below the ancient 706?

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.
