Yes, Don, that's the sort of thing I'm think about. KWM2 - the age of transceivers R4C - RX performance FT-101(?) - Japan emerges as the premier source for ham gear.
K3 - America regains the top position. Best performance per dollar of any rig - ever. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: Don Wilhelm [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 9:13 AM To: Darwin, Keith Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] How long until K3 is declared the greatest rig of all time? Kieth, My vote is for the KWM2 because it brought the concept of transceivers to amateur radio. My second vote is for the Drake C line. I believe that was the turnaround point of amateur thinking about receiver performance. Prior to that time, the major consideration for receiver specs was 'sensitivity' - it did not matter how much noise was amplified, if it was more sensitive, it was better. 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
