Sherwood tests

See http://www.sherweng.com/table.html .

When it comes to comparing radios, the best place to look is the Sherwood Engineering page. Here, the main parameters of each rig are measured so you can see how they compare. This is the page to look.

It could be me but can't find the FT-817 in this table? 73, Bas

Hi Bas, I could not see it either.

Maybe it is in a different table? I am sure I have seen it somewhere on this site!

I think the FT 987 / 857 / 817 series are all pretty much the same circuit wise, so I'd also expect the performance to be the same.

Hmmm that's odd I've just looked and they seem to have removed all the FT 987 / 857 / 817 series from the list.

I know they were on there as I often used the figures as a reference point for comparison purposes.

From memory they were pretty close to the Icom 7000 level of performance.
