[CQ-Contest] New Sherwood Engineering Test Results - Icom IC7300Mk2

[John Geiger]

On Sherwood's table the Icom 706MKIIG has better dynamic range than the Yaesu FT1000MP, FT1000D, and FT1000MP MKv, and better than the Icom 781.  I think you will find few contesters who agree that the MKIIG is a better contesting receiver than those other radios.  There must be more to the story than just close in dynamic range, or something.
