Terry's table is very useful. Another take on the same data can be found
at: http://www.ringstad-radio.com/comparing_rigs.pdf
Unfortunately, the RSGB data is not directly comparable to the ARRL's lab
data--which Raczek used--because the RSGB was done at 7 MHz. However, all
the data point to the fact that the OMNIs, Corsairs and K-2s were at the
head of the pack until the advent of the ORION. Also, William Sabin's
admiring dissection of the OMNI VI is still in the 2004 ARRL Handbook, and
I believe Sabin had a hand in the classic Collins transceivers so he knows
whereof he speaks.
Elecraft on its web site has a pretty complete table of comparable data
using ARRL's findings.
