Transmit Composite Noise and Receive Test Performance

The association of transmit composite noise and receive performance on these measures in this set of transceivers is very small (R²=.156). A transceiver with lower composite noise has a slightly higher bench-measured receive performance on the Index of the Sherwood tests. There is NO transceiver that has both lowest noise and highest receive performance! So it is important to examine several aspects of each rig with respect to the use case. For instance, contest operators will likely have a different set of features and ergonomics that are primary whereas a rag chew operator may have different priorities.
