In terms of performance, I still feel that 6800W is a better DXing machine than
the SAT800 due to it's analog design enabling a much lower noise floor.


Indeed, the thing had a very low noise oscillator (along with excellent
frequency stability), according to what I read. The first version
suffered from really bad IM in strong signal locations like Europe, this
was corrected in the second one (S/N 30001+) which also had better
filters (CFU+CFW instead of CFT+CFU). That one apparently can still keep
up quite well with, say, an ICF-SW77, which is not too shabby.
