[SCCC] Which Brand/Model Will Your Next Contesting Radio Be !?

[Bruce Horn]

Hi Howard,

It would be helpful if you provided more detail as to why you believe the Elad FDM Duo is more advanced than the 7300 and outperforms it. I didn't see any performance specs on the Elad web site. I'm not sure it's less expensive since the Elad is a QRP xcvr and one would need to add a 100W amp to make it functionally equivalent to the 7300.

I'm also curious how any of these "low end" SDR-based transceivers perform in a multi-transmitter environment since their ADCs are exposed to the entire HF spectrum.

Thanks.

While I have always been impressed with Robs technical analysis I was rather disappointed with his visible lack of knowledge of modern SDR XCVR's on the market 

He seemed to be fixated on the 7300 while seeming to be unaware aware of the much more advanced and less expensive Elad FM Duo or the Russian Expert MD-1 ..Both have knobs and easily outperform the 7300.

 He also chose to ignore the Maestro on the 6300/6500/6700 which all are Better than the 7300

Rob likely was unaware due to timing of his Talk of the just released Flex M series 6400/6600 which are designed to be Contest radios with built in conresr filters and SO2R
