Yes, Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu do make fine transceivers,
I don't agree with that statement at all. Objective measurements by ARRL Labs and by Rob Sherwood show that these radios are NOT "fine" transceivers. Most of them don't HEAR as well as a K3 (there are a few exceptions), and all of them are DIRTIER than a K3, many of them a LOT dirtier. Caps added for emphasis.
Even the new Flex 6300 and 6700, which ARRL just reviewed and praised for its low phase noise and "excellent" keying are MUCH dirtier on CW than a K3.
