Yes, I'd agree and have seen and read those multiple radio reviews. These
are evident when a radio fails any of the spec test values. In follow up,
the ARRL Lab consults with the supplier. Typically the supplier sends in a
2nd or 3rd radio for evaluation and the ARRL Lab does indicate such actions
have taken place.
>From my perspective, the "out of the box" condition, be it pass or fail, is
something I'd like to know about. It says something about a company and
their quality position.
