[Elecraft] March/April NCJ

[David Gilbert]

It's an interesting article, but in my opinion the flaw in it is that it 
relies so heavily on eHam satisfaction ratings.  There is a very wide 
range of user criteria for what makes a "good rig", and eHam ratings are 
notoriously flawed anyway.  Many ratings are from folks who aren't very 
discerning in the first place (skewing the ratings upward) and I once 
did a profile of over 2,000 eHam ratings that found they were heavily 
spread downward by things other than performance,  such as shipping 
issues or vendor support.  The author's use of statistical analysis is 
impressive, but as they say, "garbage in, garbage out."

Just my opinion ...
