Wrong list. Sorry this was intended for the Orion list!

the wife can be publicly critical of the husband".
As a satisfied owner and user of rigs from Elecraft, Icom, Kenwood,
Ten-Tec and Yaesu (listed alphabetically for those who might discern a
slight against the vendor to whom they are currently married), I think
I have established myself as a happy polygamist. (Only so far as radio
equipment is concerned, I should add!)
Have some of you lost sight of objective principle in your writings? I
think so. There is no such thing as the PERFECT radio. Not in this
life anyway. Neither is there any such thing as the BEST radio.
Though there may well be such a thing as the BEST radio for YOU.
I can only smile when I read bold statements along the lines of "the
only comparison is between radio X & Y and all others are meaningless".
The fact is that the comparisons important to you and your environment
are the ones that matter...........to YOU. Manufacturer
specifications, solid technical evaluations (such as those performed
by ARRL) and user reviews, are all valuable in helping the undecided
cross the bridge to a decision on just which radio may be the best for
HIM.
