I don't want to start a flurry of emails on this so perhaps if you could respond privately, it will keep the list traffic down.
I began my question-subject with a curiosity on how the professional evaluators test & report on modern transceiver performance such as sensitivity, etc. At the same time, I have been looking at some Elecraft products: the W2, the P3 TXMON, and the like. My instinct tells me that no ultimate best figures can survive on an input line where there are sampling units & PL-259 couplings, short lengths, PL-259 to BNC adapters, etc. So I'm thinking that when Sherwood Labs specs out the K2 and the K3, they probably: 1. Have the rig on a wet cell battery; 2. Except for the signal generator line coming, the rig is probably inside an EMF shielded cage, etc. 3. The only thing going into the transceiver is a single signal cable connection. Am I at least close to being right ? And if so, how much degradation would I cause using, for example, both the P3TXMON sampling unit and a W2 sampling unit between the antenna and the K-Type receiver as well as a typical switching power supply feeding the power? Thanks for any responses to me in private.
