You're correct. But in fairness, those items should be based on a
standard output power (not everyone wants QRP) and we already know that
you're the only company concerned about those points and you're the
clear winner. ;-)
As I had said, it's more than numbers. There are many other factors
involved in the 'test'. Sheer numbers only tell the science side of the
operation; useless if you have to go through layers of menu to make a
frequent adjustment.
To me, knowing how clean a transmitter is should be on the list as well,
what crud does it produce at a given output, in all modes. While some
don't care they spread all over the band, I'd rather put the energy into
a CLEAN signal to concentrate that one extra erg to make the contact.
It's also about being a good neighbor; do unto others... ;-)

Too bad Rob's table doesn't have columns for size, weight, or current drain. I
think the KX2 might have the lowest numbers in all three categories.

Remember that Rob is usually LOANed a radio (by an individual or manufacturer)
for an extended period of time. In a very few cases, he buys/owns the radio.
I know of few that would loan out their brand new radio for a month or more
instead of actually using it.
So if someone wants to loan Rob their KX2, I'm sure he's happy to test it, try
it out etc. It's not just a simple bench test, he uses it and makes comments
based on science as well as being a DXer/contester user of the radio. Testing
alone doesn't determine control placement or ease for example.

Can't say for sure but doubt it has been reviewed yet. It is still
pretty new.
It's been on the market for ten months...long enough for a popular rig to be
reviewed.
There's been nothing in QST's product reviews either.
But then, Elecraft has not released much technical information either...still
no schematics for the typical customer.
