    Gerald,
       
       Agree with you, Your QEX articles on SDR radio's should be read so that one 
    understands, that not all radio's are created equal !

    Hope the group reads these articles, then they may understand what SDR means.

    Thus comparing, this radio to that radio can be misleading

    Walt, too funny.  I always start thinking about KE=1/2mv^2 and what that means to bearings, tires, tie rods and such, plus if I hit a turtle it's airborne for sure

    Perhaps it is just me ... but Amateur Radio was so much more fun and engaging when the discussions were more centered around communicating with others and sharing with other cultures, and less about negligible improvements in third-order intercept and millisecond latency differences, or the color of the S-meter. 

    I get it .. but each time a new radio surfaces it seems pointless to automatically go on the defense to best justify your expenditure. My wife and I are art history enthusiasts and travel the world looking at art and drinking fine wines. We recently went on a wine tour in St. Emilion outside of Bordeaux, France where each sip was so overly analyzed, dissected, compared ... I just wanted to yell 'now swallow the darn swill'. Someone once told us Van Gogh used too many paint strokes. Seeing 'The Starry Night Over the Rhone', standing next to the painting in Paris, you will not think so. Breathtaking. I feel the same way here .. 'just call CQ and take joy in someone answering your call'.

    I am sure ALL these radios will benefit the discerning amateur, within most any context, and afford enjoyment and hopefully new challenges, as we grow as Amateur Radio operators.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hi Hi I personally love comparing the esoterica of Radios and Fine wines. Spend a lot of time in France doing just that. Went to LE GRANDE TASTING in Paris Lat year where they tasted 2,800 wines. Also went to a lot if Hamfests where I compared radio specs and got allot of free drinks in the process. By contrast I have no interest whatsoever in seeing those Van Gogh even though we live part of the year in Provence image

    Good refurb 6300 from flex not a scratch and works perfect with 2 year warranty for 2200.  No way I need or want a Maestro....too retro.   hi hi
