Intro to Studio A in Idaho

Lots of us have heard of the Sherwood evaluations for most new ham radios. Most of us don’t really understand what we’re reading. Rob Sherwood joins us live to explain what the numbers mean, how he gets the numbers and what you need to know when looking for your next radio. Join me live and ask your questions.
