Yes, quite true. But it is a little hilarious that the only other Icom rig above its own 7300 in the Sherwood chart costs 13 grand.... At least in the fairly narrow comparison domain of RX dynamic range anyway; to me that's just kind of funny that their high end rigs are outperformed by their own entry/mid level rig.
But yes you make a good point in that it's the overall package that really counts and you always have your compromises that you need to make to hit a particular performance level or price point or both... After looking at them all, though, my K3S still edges out everything else I've looked at in the bang/buck ratio department, so that's what I went with. But of course my needs are kind of specific - the hottest possible RX, brick wall filtering CW a first-class citizen among the supported modes and built for /p operation. If I worked voice or digital modes in addition, or didn't have /p requirements, maybe the calculus would have had other players in it. When I threw in kit building fun/learning, the K2 actually edged out all of them. That's why I built 2 of them lol. 73, LS W5QD Jim Brown-10 wrote > Don't be so quick to declare either of these products winners -- Rob's > RX measurements are only a small part of what defines the quality of a > radio.
