[Elecraft] [K3] QST Labs review? -- Pool?

[David Yarnes]

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought there was also a good bit of controversy 
some time back as to whether or not Sherwood's measurements were correct. 
It might have been via the Orion reflector or the IC7800 reflector, but not 
sure.  Anyway, as I understand it, Sherwood had to go back and do a 
re-analysis on several radios.  Also, I seem to recall he had not really 
correctly evaluated the K2 when it first came out.  But maybe I dreamed all 
of this.
