Let me help this thread out, it seems like if I do not participate in a Topic on the eHam SDR forum, few hams give their views. OTOH when I do participate it usually ends up in an attack K9IUQ thread because I tend to be intentionally controversial to get hams talking. And Posting is good for eHams bottom line..
The other FTDX10 Topic has basically degenerated into an attack K9IUQ thread.
Let us try to make this thread more informative about the FTDX10.
Here is what I found out:
I just took a peak at Sherwoods new list and #1 is the FTDX101 and the #3 is the FTDX10. Not so bad huh? I can remember when the Sherwoods List was the Holy Grail for the Flexlovers UNTIL they got knocked off of the #1 spot. Now they never mention the Sherwood list, except to disrespect it

For the diehard Icom Lovers, the Icom 7610 is now at the #19 spot and the 7300 is at #21.
Now we are going to hear ad-nauseum about how Sherwoods List does not mean anything, blah blah blah blah, whine whine my radio is not in the top 10 so Sherwoods list is meaningless.
The fact is his list does has meaning and does sell radios like it or not.
I say great job Yaesu, getting a $1600 radio into the top 3 of the Sherwood List is a real accomplishment. In fact
the FTDX10 is the ONLY under $1700 radio in the top 20 radios.... WOWwwwwwwwww Stan K9IUQ
