Guess I'm not reading the chart the same way you are: I find the 991's specs (sort of) in line with or even below decades-old rigs on the list from Atlas, Collins, Drake, Heathkit, and Ten-Tec. There's quite a bit of difference between the 991 and the top of the list (as in the "3" series Elecrafts etc.)
Now if your criteria for choosing a rig is one that will impress the ladies with its looks, maybe the 991 is the way to go ;-) 73, Al On Thu September 3 2015 2:45:15 pm bs usb wrote: > Indeed, the FT-991 is on the list, way down toward the bottom, but its > vitals appear to be right in line with those at the top of the list. > > Henry Pollock - K4TMC wrote: > > Sherwood Engineering test data is available at > > http://www.sherweng.com/table.html. > > > > The FT-991 was added back on 8/05.
