[Elecraft] Unfair Comparison?

[Wayne Burdick]

I can't speak for the test conditions used here, but for an  
independent comparison of most ham transceivers, see:

    http://www.sherweng.com/table.html

Sherwood sorts his table by 2-kHz (close-spaced) dynamic range. The K3  
and FT5000 have the top spots. I'm still not entirely sure why Rob put  
the FT-5000 above the K3, given that they tied on narrow-banded IMDDR3  
and the K3 had the better numbers in nearly all other categories.

But then, as anyone on the list will tell you, I'm hopelessly biased.
