It’s worth pointing out that the rigs like the KX1 and FT817/818 appear nowhere on Sherwoods tables. However, the LD-5 and LD-11 from LNR precision have a similar form factor:

They both seemed to be well received by the /P SOTA community: G0POT did a nice series of videos on YouTube about the LD-11:
They have low-ish current drain as well, which is also seems to be becoming an important benchmark for many operators. If the receiver is also top class, well that’s a nice bonus. What would be really nice, as I said in my original post, is if someone could review it for us.
