[CQ-Contest] FT-9000 v. Icom 7800?

[N7MAL]

Barry I have personal 'first-hand' knowledge of 4 guys, with to much 
time/money on their hands, who did side-by-side comparisons. Every one of 
them picked the 7800. Only one of them is a serious DXer and none of them 
are serious contesters. Their reasons were all over the board from 
ergonomics' to audio quality, both tx/rx.
In listening to them on-the-air, without any 'pre-radio/audio' processing 
they really don't sound that different. Maybe the 7800 sounds smoother but 
not much. With the 'pre-processing' they sounded exactly the same.
Hope that helps a little.
