That does not consider clicks -- most if not all Icom radios have a
leading spike, and the keying rise time on the 7600

It says that the 7600 is 11dB worse than the K3 -- that's 12X the
power of the trash within 20 kHz for phase noise alone!
Correction -- the 7600 is 17 dB worse than the K3, 50X the power of the
trash from phase noise.

Hope this prints OK.
While doodling around today, I thought to take a look at the eHam.net
product reviews.
Somewhat difficult to make a lot of sense from it, so I thought I'd import
it into Excel.
I've limited the list below to those rigs with 100 or more reviews. The
sort is by average

Which is exactly why I limited the list to 100 or more reviews. I figure
that folks who buy, or might buy, a K3 or K2 (or any other rig), are
probably as subjective
Interesting list, but I just bought a DX-40 on ebay and it's not on it.
Did I screw up?

With 2 more reviews, the venerable Icom IC-751A would top the list at 5.0.

Good point Eric. You demonstate how much personal interests affect how a rig
might be rated.
Compared to what a DX-40 has to offer the antique enthusiast, all of the
rigs on Doug's list don't even make the list, Hi!

Interesting stats, Doug. I expected the KX3 to be right up there near the top,
too, but then I realized it has only 99 reviews. Just missed The Cutoff :)
eHam is a highly approximate metric for radio quality. But I do read every
review, since they're are often posted by customers who aren't
From your perspective Wayne, i'd read them all too. From my perspective as
just a ham, I've pretty much given up on eHam reviews. Like me trying to
learn how to pilot a helicopter, they are all over the sky. Plus, I don't
know who they are, what they expected, whether or not that was
