Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought there was also a good bit of controversy
some time back as to whether or not Sherwood's measurements were correct.
It might have been via the Orion reflector or the IC7800 reflector, but not
sure. Anyway, as I understand it, Sherwood had to go back and do a
re-analysis on several radios. Also, I seem to recall he had not really
correctly evaluated the K2 when it first came out. But maybe I dreamed all
of this.

Subject: [Elecraft] [K3] QST Labs review? -- Pool?
Has Rob actually commited to publishing a detailed technical evaluation of
the K3? If so, I believe that will be a first. I have searched his web
site and cannot find detailed evaluations of *any* current HF rigs. His
tables of receiver performance numbers are very convenient, but the
numbers themselves do not seem to differ greatly from those found in the
QST reviews. He also has a number of very interesting and illuminating
white papers, but these are general technical discussions rather than
detailed evaluations of specific radios.

Rob Sherwood will publish a detailed technical evaluation long before ARRL
(sans fluff). Rob also is not afraid of offending advertisers by
identifying genuine problems. ARRL's Expanded Test Reports are very
worthwhile but I would rather read good fiction than most QST product
reviews. :-)
