Admittedly, buying a radio in his top rankings shouldn't disappoint, but all of the data should be looked at. And price is certainly a parameter that needs to be considered along with Bob's data.

They contain minimal math and are a good discussion of the real receiver issues. That should put Bob's work in perspective and help make sense of the data. And, IMHO, using a K3 or KX3 is the way to go. And for me, my requirement set drove me to the KX3, and I haven't been disappointed.
