I guess you get what you pay for. To my knowledge, only Elecraft is capable of producing receivers that top the charts over at Sherwood engineering but still cost only what their competitors' "entry level" rigs do.
I don't think the Icom leopard is necessarily going to change its spots with the 7300, it never has in the past. Either the price is going to be really high or the performance mediocre (or maybe both). I personally have always been dismayed at how poor Icom's RX's have been even at the higher price ranges; even my K2 runs circles around my 706MKIIG in terms of RX performance. I think the highest bang/buck ratio is still held by Elecraft and I don't see that changing for quite a while... 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Icom-7300-is-available-tp7614790p7614800.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
