More like the 40s.
I expect this argument about receiver specs and methodology to be the next AM
vs SSB war. Simple tests were derived in the 70's to describe receiver
performance and many of us used these test to compare various analogue radios.
We think we know something when we quote these tests, but we may n

I would agree.. contesting success is largely affected by skill and
experience, part of which is driven by familiarity with equipment,

Ray,
The 1K doesn't work as well as a receiver with a narrow roofing
filter and a good front end although it is better than a receiver
without them. For example, there is a station across the bay and
only 5 miles away runs 1K watts on psk31 in a contest. He wipes out
the 1k about +\- 20 KHz;

Chas,
I don't think that what the top DXers & contesters are using is necessarily
a good judge of "performance".
At a recent meeting of the Hoosier DX & Contest Club, I got into a
discussion with a couple of out-of-town contesters who were there to pick up
a plaque for top score in the Indiana
Jim,
Probably a good judge of "performance" is to see what the top DXers
and contesters are using. There has been a preference for the Yaesu
2K; its too early see where the 9K will come in. It's no accident a
current TEN TEC ad shows ON4UN with two Orion IIs. (Why two)? I'm
not sure where t

Hi,
Price is all relative. Isn't the Omni-VII about $2500 or a little
more, and it's not even a top-of-the line transceiver. I paid $3200 +
- for my Omni-VI in 1992, in 1992 $. What does the top-of-the line
transceiver of the big 3 plus Ten Tec go for? Can you compare the
Flex 5K to them? M
m!
that is the real bottom line
So I am willing to wait for good analysis and not hype.

Tim, we use a difference of ~$650 [5k vs 1k with D44]. Some guys already
have sound cards.

Lee .. What I think is interesting is that the impact of the
announcement centers around the price. The lack of information is
leading to a lot of negative talk where the price is the issue and not
the various features and improvements. As soon as you mention that the

Part of the problem is that the announcement of the F5k was a bit premature.
QST is released to a select few members before the rest of the membership and a
premature release of the F5K advertisement kind of forced the issue. I think

It is my understanding from Gerald that he has an OEM license for XP
that is good for quite some time (years).
