I asked Yaesu what the improvement was but never got an answer.  I also asked 
the ARRL to rerun the analysis on the FT Dx5000 they have so the results could 
be compared to their original product review, they never responded to my 
e-mail.  Does anyone have any clout with the League to nudge them to run the 
test on their radio?
