Thanks Tom.
I also find Adam's reviews very helpful as well as his work on advancing
the NPR test method to bridge the legacy world (K3, etc) to the new
family of DDC/DUC SDR transceivers.
I have found the odd comments by some other readers of this mailing list

Al,
You are correct for the more usual "casual use". In that arena,
performance does not matter as much. The gut feeling about a radio's
audio or the buttons are the more important to many operators.
But when those operators who are a little more discerning and operate in

Ahh, this is right on the mark. How many times have you heard a ham say, "I
didn't like Radio X because it didn't have enough close-spaced dynamic range."
Me, almost never. Instead, I usually hear that hams have discarded a radio

"bad" or "noisy" aud
Rob's tests, which are generally excellent, include MANY different
parameters, but he publishes ONLY the performance of the receivers, and
he has arbitrarily chosen list them in order of only one of those
parameters. For all practical purposes, he does not test transmitters

Using a rig harshly in a particular activity isn't necessarily a good

Correct but the little box scores well in Rob Sherwood’s tests (considering its
price) and the eHam opinions (reviews) are great. It’s no K3 but looks like a
lot of fun to play with. Glad to see one of the big 3 come out with something
new at a great price.

This link may be of interest to many who have recently been debating a new
SDR...it was recently made available to another group I belong to. I'm keeping
my K3 but looking forward to purchasing one of these puppies too. I'm sold and
the price point is perfect.
