[Elecraft] Icom 7300 is available

[lstavenhagen]

I guess you get what you pay for. To my knowledge, only Elecraft is capable
of producing receivers that top the charts over at Sherwood engineering but
still cost only what their competitors' "entry level" rigs do. 

I don't think the Icom leopard is necessarily going to change its spots with
the 7300, it never has in the past.  Either the price is going to be really
high or the performance mediocre (or maybe both). I personally have always
been dismayed at how poor Icom's RX's have been even at the higher price
ranges; even my K2 runs circles around my 706MKIIG in terms of RX
performance.  

I think the highest bang/buck ratio is still held by Elecraft and I don't
see that changing for quite a while...
