    Have there been further tests of the Flax 6700?

    I've heard the audio is grainy.

    I'd like to take this with a grain of salt, but then I'm supposed to avoid grains of salt! ;):cool:

    Who did you her this from. I know a couple of people who have the 6700 that are very critical about receive and transmit audio and they like it over other more recent radios they brought and returned because they were not happy with receive audio and or transmit audio.

    It was a joke! Check out the spelling of the radio name in the original post.

    If I'm not mistaken, Rob's father Hollace was my high school physics teacher, and his mother was my Jr. High science teacher.

    What does it matter what someone else thinks or tests? The proof is in using it on the air not a lab. FAKE NEWS

    Wow. I am surprised that in a hobby that is technical and based on science one can call a rigorous test performed by a respected figure fake news. Of course it matters what you can do with it in the field, but that does not mean bench marking is worthless, and it doesn't mean someone is going to make a decision based solely on a single spec.

    Ive heard enough muddy FTDX101 radios. But he praises that fake sdr radio. Its not any better sounding than a $600 ft891. But people worship his reports. They are lab based not real world. Most of radio is a emotional experience between the operator and the radio. I can sit here and switch between 10 different radios and most cant tell the difference. I should probably not share anything, we have plenty of you tube radio gods posting on qrz to inform us better
