[Elecraft] Icom IC-7300

[Al Gulseth]

Guess I'm not reading the chart the same way you are: I find the 991's specs 
(sort of) in line with or even below decades-old rigs on the list from Atlas, 
Collins, Drake, Heathkit, and Ten-Tec. There's quite a bit of difference 
between the 991 and the top of the list (as in the "3" series Elecrafts etc.)

Now if your criteria for choosing a rig is one that will impress the ladies 
with its looks, maybe the 991 is the way to go ;-)

73, Al
