I don't agree with that statement at all. Objective measurements by ARRL 
Labs and by Rob Sherwood show that these radios are NOT "fine" 
transceivers. Most of them don't HEAR as well as a K3 (there are a few 
exceptions), and all of them are DIRTIER than a K3, many of them a LOT 
dirtier. Caps added for emphasis.

Even the new Flex 6300 and 6700, which ARRL just reviewed and praised 
for its low phase noise and "excellent" keying are MUCH dirtier on CW 
than a K3.
