X for Xtal controlled, C for chirpy, I think that is pretty common
knowledge.

I hope nobody would defend poor signals today. But I've been around long
enough to remember lots of drifty, chirpy, over-modulated signals from
non-digital "good old rigs".
Have you ever given out an RST 596C or 599X report? Do you know why the
"T" part is there? What "C" or "X" means? :-)
Still, I agree that older, less "hot" rigs (like my TS-520S) were easier on
the ears - if there was not much QRM. There is serenity in gentle bandpass
filters and deafness.

Mike has described what my non-technical mind calls
"digital hamburger," the product of so many modern rigs, as compared to
older, cleaner (?) rigs...
Sure tires one out to listen, even though the rigs
are superior in all specs....
