[Elecraft] IC-7800 vs K2

[Robert McGwier]

Hear Hear.  I just cannot understand what is going on in the ICOM
engineering labs.  If you are an ARRL member,  go the product review
pages.  Look at the dynamics numbers for:

IC746
IC756
IC756Pro
IC746Pro
IC756ProII


The packaging and the features became richer but the receivers get
WORSE as you go down in that list. It is just inexcuseable engineering.
These tests should be the standard part of every engineering design
for an amateur transceiver at the factory and if you cannot improve
the numbers, the LEAST you should do is get them to equal the last
model.

ICOM has not improved AT ALL on the IC-781.

     Looking at what I consider the three most important measurements of a
receiver's contest performance -- BDR, Ip3, and IMD at 5khz spacing
-- in the new ARRL review of the IC-7800, I read the K2 as superior
in ALL THREE areas.

     Thank you, thank you, thank you, N6KR and WA6HHQ.
