Ha - right!  I suppose we are ALL speculating ... but having paid my 
dues, I figure I am free to speculate with the rest of the gang!

But seriously folks...Notwithstanding it was said in 1975 ... Even if 
the publisher really believed what he said, he could have been mistaken 
about it.  The ONLY way to know what Yaesu would do is to try it and 
see.  Even asking Yaesu what it would do is suspect.  If you ask me my 
trial strategy during jury selection... well... would you really believe 
anything I said before hearing my opening statement?   The only way to 
know is to try it, and Yaesu is STILL running the same ads that reaped 
such harsh criticism after the ARRL lab results were announced.
To coin a phrase, practice speaks louder than guessing... I guess.  :-)


I believe Rob dinged the Omni VII for some transmit IMD in one of those 
slide shows found on your web pages - which is a huge service to the ham 
community thank you - and I believe it was the one that specifically 
includes spectrum graphs showing various radio transmit bandwidths.  It 
was not the worst, but I recall felling kinda punk he was mentioning it 
at all in a talk on noisy transmitters !

	You know... it is OK to bash the OTHER guy's rig,
	but ... er... not MINE !!!
