[Elecraft] Sherwood on ARRL Testing Methodology

[Goody K3NG]

Another thing to note is that ARRL buys all the gear they review, right 
off the shelf just like any other ham would.  So no vendor, advertiser 
or otherwise, has an opportunity to submit an individually tuned or 
"souped up" unit to get a better review.  ARRL periodically auctions off 
review units,  presumably at a loss.  I think this further increases the 
validity of ARRL tests and just about dismisses any "sinister plot" 
theories.
