I get a little bit of a charge out the various subjective (even objective)
comparisons between rigs. Rig A is better than Rig B because the 99th
order introject is higher.
I would submit that in this situation, that the writers don't have the vaguest
idea of what a 99th order introject (I made that up is), that it doesn't
have much to do with usefulness in ham radio, but it sure sounds impressive.
Subjective comparisons, which abound, are worth the paper they are written on.
I still claim, and could probably back up, my claim that I could hear just
about as well with my Old S38B as with any modern rig. Oh, it didn't have a
keyer,
it didn't wipe your fanny for you, but I sure worked a lot of distant stations
with it. Selectivity wasn't very good, but I have very good ears!
Bunch of idiots -- oops, I'm offending the idiots. Sorry
