One has to be real about this. The likely price of the FT50
I think the idea of competition is good for all so having Yaesu or Kenwood come
out with rigs that challenge Elecraft is a good thing.
However, in all this kind of talk I never see or hear of the best reason to go
with Elecraft -- at least from my own perspective. It is that these guys, Eric
a
Hector, I would not get too excited about a few DBs on way or another. It is
just not going to make that much difference. Also, diversity receive with the

Why not? I wouldn't be surprised to see incremental improvement in
this area, now that it is finally receiving the attention it de
Third in place ??? I will not believe it until I see the performance reports

That's very interesting. I predicted this before
It seems as if Peter Hart, having pushed the K3 into second place after the
Perseus SDR (in his Radcom review a month ago) for close-in strong signal
performance (I was very surprised not to see that mentioned in this forum),
has now pushed it one further place down, following his review of the new
