Today, a modern rig can easily reach within striking distance of that
$5k rig for far less. The difference is often at the very limits of
performance, if not the limits of credibility. And the number of

For a few thousand, you can improve your radio and improve your
performance by a few percent.
For a few hundred you can improve your antenna and improve your
performance tenfold.
Talk about hyperbole...
And we discuss these matters in Decibels and Microvolts not "tenfolds"
nor "percents". Close in dynamic range is very important for DXing in
crowded bands and there ain't an antenna made that'll improve that spec,
and a they make a few that can degrade it.
I like 0 Db. Across a known impedance.
