>Just done with the 160 contest this past weekend at W8JI.  Tom has
>gradually upgraded his station to the finest receivers and the
>cleanest transmitters we can find.  We had 4 Drake R4C's and 2 T4XC's.  On
>the low bands, I will argue that this is still the finest radio you can
>buy.

>I've also been trying to find a mint TS-830 for my collection of old
>radios.  In the process, I've managed to stock pile 3 of them which didn't
>quite fit my requirements for cosmetics.  However, I've been using these
>radios from home and find them to be as good or superior to my FT1000MP.
>
>I've decided that for this year's WPX contest I'm going to shelf the
>FT1000MP's and use two of these 830's.  I want to confirm my theory that
>these receivers are as good as anything made today.
>
>Oh, one more comment... I think the little Elecraft K2 is supposed to be
>as fine as any of the expensive radios for receiver performance.  This is
>at least what I have been hearing through the grape vine.
>
>At the very least, if you are trying to contest on a tight budget, you
>definately have options.  I bought these 830's for around $400.00.
