[SCCC] Equipment Review's from ARRL - Meaningful stats

[Dennis Vernacchia]

Received this from N6FN:

There was a PDF file from Janet La Rocca at ARRL attached so e-mail me if 
interested in viewing it
since I can't post it here.

Here is something you guys might find interesting.  ARRL product reviews 
are now going to include visual graphics for comparing measured key 
transceiver parameters to what other recent radios have been measured at.

Kind of interesting, before you needed to have a feel for the numbers to 
know if they were good, fair, average or poor. Now even if you don't quite 
have a grasp of the measured values, a person can at least see how it 
compares with other radios.

I received this from the ARRL because I'm an advertiser.

BTW, Bernie N6FN writes some very easy to use instruction guides that 
supplement the usually
impossible to understand Operating Manuals for many modern day HF, VHF and 
UHF Xcvrs
( I have NO pecuniary interest in this matter ) - N6KI

Subject: ARRL Product Reviews

To our valued advertisers and radio equipment manufacturers:



In an effort to make ARRL product reviews more meaningful to our readers, a 
new visually enhanced presentation will be included in Product Reviews of 
radio equipment in QST.



In the future, as the Product Review team evaluates different types of 
equipment, they will select different parameters for inclusion, along with 
the definitions of their displayed ranges.  They will also be adding some 
new measurements and modifying some existing ones, such as taking dynamic 
data at 2 kHz spacing in addition to the current 5 and 20 kHz.



Please take a moment to view the attachment.  The Product review team 
anticipates our readers will be pleased to see this change.



Very best regards,



Janet L. Rocco, W1JLR
