Mario:

Come, come, my good man!  I think a reading of the claimed specifications
for the current crop of JA transceivers and the ARRL Product Reviews
would be instructive.  There are *large* discrepancies between the claimed
specifications and those measures - and in *many* cases there are *no*
claimed specifications made for crucial receiver performance parameters
for our competitors radios.

Believe me, I have read them *all*, - -both claimed and as measured by the
ARRL - - enough to make my head spin, for all the rigs that have come out
over the past 10 years.  All of the information is available on the Internet
for a little research project of your own, if desired.
