As I mentioned before, my A/B tests are in no way associated with lab
tests which determine a receiver's IMDDR3 and BDR figures.

Much of my 160-meter DXing is during non-contest periods when the band is
not full of big signals.  I'm sure this is true for many others.  During
such periods, the IC-746 PRO can be very useful for 160-meter CW DXing.

During contests, however, I would prefer my FT-1000MP or K2.
