[Elecraft] Contrast and compare...

[Bill W5WVO]

And... Where's the beef? I assumed I was just being stupid because I couldn't 
find the page with the engineering details on it -- you know, the lab 
measurements and so on. Couldn't find it, because there isn't any. Who on 
earth would lay out nearly $3000 for a transceiver sight unseen, with no 
reputation behind it, and with no published engineering lab specifications?

Is this guy kidding, or what?
