Roger G3XBM's (Mainly) Amateur Radio Blog: Sherwood tests

19 Mar 2016

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.

PE4BAS, Bas said...: It could be me but can't find the FT-817 in this table? 73, Bas; Sat Mar 19, 10:22:00 pm GMT
Roger G3XBM said...: 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!; Sat Mar 19, 10:30:00 pm GMT

Anonymous said...: 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.
