[Elecraft] K4 standing on Sherwood's RX list

[Andy Durbin]

"I do wish he would post transmit IMD numbers.   You might surprised at 
the radios that are clean and the radios that are.......well not so clean."

Rob previously owned a Kenwood TS-990 and now owns, among other rigs, a Kenwood TS-890.  He is active on groups.io for those radios and quite often posts very interesting comments on these and other radio.   There are lots of subtleties that are not shown by reading the table alone and Rob has posted several comments about TX IMD and TX harmonics.  

It bugs me that so many latch on to "top of the list" and I have, perhaps tongue in check (perhaps not), suggested to Rob that he sort on some completely irrelevant parameter to see people's reactions.  I wonder how many would dump what they had and buy new "top of list".

In my opinion being very familiar with what you own, and knowing how to get the best out of it, is far more important than having the "best" rig.   I've been a TS-590S owner for nearly 8 years and still not seen anything that would tempt me to get rid of either of them.
