I don't know if this has been mentioned on the reflector but I
found the changes announced in July's QST interesting.
The League is now going to use a 5KHz standard spacing versus the
former 20 KHz spacing while testing receiver dynamic range
and intercept points. This should better characterize crowded band conditions.
On page 80 of July's QST is a listing of several current HF
transceivers. According to the new tests, the Elecraft K2 and
the Ten-Tec Omni 6+ have far better figures than the
IC-756PRO, FT-1000MP, etc.
Of course, most of us already knew this.....
