[Elecraft] [OT] FT-5000 vs. K3

[Steve Ellington]

Yaesu had the FT-5k on display at the Charlotte fest. I got a close up look. 
Ergos are great with huge knobs etc. The bandscope is pathetic. It displays 
tiny, blurry, blue blobs of busy, bewildering bunk. Even the ICOM scope is 
superior. Compared to the LP-PAN/PSDR it's a joke.

Found these videos on Youtube from YO3GJC, not really scientific but a 
comparison between the K3 and the FTDX-5000 using the same speakers:

More videos from the same OM:

And some videos revealing some artifacts from the DSP and the lower grade 
second RX in diversity:

A search on FTDX-5000 will return a few more videos.
