Scott,
Well, yes: The "numbers" say one thing (or several things!), but,
like I said, I'm in love with Elecraft... So, yes, I'm prejudiced! Of
course the "top radio (FT-DX101D)" is somewhat more expensive then the
6400, and does seem to have some nice whistles and bells. Who knows?
Maybe I'll do a switch to Yaesu... {'-)

Actually, the Yaesu FTDX101D/MP has the best receiver numbers on
Sherwood's list. That doesn't mean that it's the best radio for you,
but the Flex and the K4 aren't "far and away" better receivers than
anything else in the amateur market. Ironically, Rob seems to really
like Icoms...

Rich, Et Al,
Thanks for the comments.
Yes, I'm aware that this might bring up some sort of issues
people have with the manufactures or personal experience. My own is
that when I was ordering the radio, I could afford the 6400. But what
I was hoping for, maybe in vain, is some information about how the
rigs perform comparatively. I know that either of them are
far-and-away better receivers than anything else on the amateur market.
I my situation, I'm up against a lot of noise (live in a condo).
The Flex seems to mitigate some of that. I was hoping that the K4
would be at least comparable.
CW delay: Well, I wired my key and headphones directly to the
Flex. My control PC would be way too slow to operate CW through it.
Well, I'm not sure which way to go at this time. I like the Flex,
but I'm "in-love" with Elecraft! Just wish I had a more experiential
based opinion to consider!
Thanks all for your comments! I'll keep my eye on this thread...
