[Elecraft] Noise Power Ratio and the K3 with new synthesizer?

[Chester Alderman]

I think it is a little more than that, I think he is blinded by Icom! When I
had my IC-7700 he became a real PITA!

VA7OJ is highly biased toward ICOM gear.

For the record, I am highly biased towards Elecraft gear.

I am sure we both have our reasons.

The transceivers near the top of Adam's list are all pretty close in
performance; possibly close enough to be indistinguishable in actually use
on-air. 

A K3 with the new synths may have been been better still.
