[Elecraft] Icom IC-7300

[W2CTX via Elecraft]

If the 991 is so good why did Sherwood rank it below the ancient 706?

Al,

Yes, but is it a difference you can discern without the use of special 
test equipment?

If I can't hear the difference, then there is no difference.

Besides Collins, Heathkit, and Drake were perfectly capable radios.  I 
expect the 991 is equally capable and it offers as standard features 
that are expensive options elsewhere.
