Another thing to note is that ARRL buys all the gear they review, right off the shelf just like any other ham would. So no vendor, advertiser or otherwise, has an opportunity to submit an individually tuned or "souped up" unit to get a better review. ARRL periodically auctions off review units, presumably at a loss. I think this further increases the validity of ARRL tests and just about dismisses any "sinister plot" theories.
