Sherwood seems to rank those receivers in order of
performance based on close frequency dynamic range.
I'm amused to see that the 1978 vintage Atlas 350XL
rates among the top guys. I have a 350XL and was
always impressed by its performance. It has a few bugs
in other areas but the receiver and its QSK is as good
as Ten-Tec's. I enjoy it as much as using my Omni-C
and my Corsair II.
