[Elecraft] A helpful review...

[Jim Brown]

Rob's tests, which are generally excellent, include MANY different 
parameters, but he publishes ONLY the performance of the receivers, and 
he has arbitrarily chosen list them in order of only one of those 
parameters. For all practical purposes, he does not test transmitters 
(which is a good thing -- the one type of test I've seen is done 
improperly).

The performance and usefulness of ANY product, including a radio, 
depends upon the totality of its characteristics. As the late Richard 
Heyser said so well, "trying to describe an audio system using only 
frequency response is like trying to write poetry with only one word in 
your vocabulary."
