GM Bob, A good post, which hopefully no one objects to. It does not denegrate other xcvrs and it is on topic. The numbers tell the story. Ah but some bells are nice. Must admit I use the 'DX LIST' and like it. Thank you Wayne and co.73 Doug EI2CNSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Bob McGraw <rmcg...@benlomand.net> Date: 10/03/2022 02:02 (GMT+00:00) To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K4 Vs. Flex 6400 Before I posted my numbers, I did print the current Sherwood table. I then went across each line for the FT-DX101D, the K3S, and the FLEX 6700. I did compare 6 of the 10 or so data lines. My reason for doing this has to do with someone that posted "the FT=101D has the best receiver performance numbers". Well this is not exactly true. The K3S is consistently better than the FT-DX101D and the FLEX 6700. As to the K4D, it is much further down the list from the top 3 or 4.I fear many hams only look at the top line, brand and model and say that is best. Clearly this is not true. The top line is sorted by Dynamic Range Narrow spaced and that's all. Certainly there are factors just as important or more important data points than that.Of course there is no way to judge whistles and bells. I think more hams are enticed by whistles and bells and know little what makes for a performance radio. Secondly, factors as quality of the product, failures out of the box, service turn-a-round time, long term support, and etc. all come into play in identifying a good radio. To me that puts Elecraft at the top of the list, all facts considered.73Bob, K4TAX> Actually, the Yaesu FTDX101D/MP has the best receiver numbers on> Sherwood's list.
