The whole thing tells me something about some Hams and what they want -
"living room" or "arm chair" audio quality. Other attributes - ability to
hear weak signals, deal with QRM especially in the presence of very strong
signals close in, etc. - are either secondary or simply not on the list.

Right, some are going to prefer the treble biased K3 rx audio featured in
this video and some are going to prefer the more bassy FT5K. My point is
that either rig can easily be made to sound treble, bassy, neutral, etc.
Given both radios and 10 minutes, I could make the K3 sound just like the
FT5K
Agree that this is a pretty uncontrolled experiment. They do say "4KHz", "Same
AGC", "No noise reduction" and "Same Speakers."
*Given the way they were setup*, fair comparison or not, the FT5000 sounds way
better and would be far less tiring to listen to for extended periods.

Guy,
Well, like your AM Broadcast radio, I did such subjective comparative
evaluations when choosing my component audio gear. As a "for instance",
I listened to several speakers while keeping all the other components
constant. I chose other components in the same manner.
Since I was choosin
I remember in 1959 I was in a shop selling AM broadcast radios. I
must have listened to 20 or 30 different models and was worried
someone was going to come and throw me out. I finally heard a Zenith
6 tube in a bakelite case that I thought had the "best sound" I could
actually buy. I took it to
Barry,
I agree. I have a good background in engineering level testing, and one
of the pre-requisites is to establish a level playing field for such
comparisons. Just plugging in two radios and listening to them with no
other information about the similarity of the settings would be thrown
For two radios that both feature an audio passband that is S adjustable
in so many ways and likewise so affected by button/menu switches, it's
almost criminal to put up a soundclip like that and call it a comparison.
The obvious (duh) protocol should be to first adjust the rigs and equalize
t
You made me go listen again Bob. You are right, at about 29 seconds he says
"same speakers" and I too would assume he meant both radios were feeding the
same speakers. The first time I was concentrating on the radio sounds, not
the comments.
In fact, looking and listening closely I see I got lost

If this is a duplicate listing...sorry.
I really don't care about an "audio" comparison on just one signal on
a quiet band, but wow...look at the size difference!
I guess guys like driving an 18 wheele
If this is a duplicate listing...sorry.
I really don't care about an "audio" comparison on just one signal on

I guess guys like driving an 18 wheeler, but I'll stick with the K3
any day of the week. YMMV
