[Elecraft] OT: Manufacturers may need to redesign Frequency Displays

[AJSOENKE at aol.com]

Here is an rather old post with serious implications for amateurs.This could 
mean major revisions in the way manufacturers display frequency. It may also 
lead to serious complications with the design precision of many rigs and other 
electronics devices.

On the Positive side, it will finally put an end to the idiotic pricing of 
Gasoline to a tenth of a cent - as if that really matters anymore.  Be careful 
the next time you buy a pair of shoes and be prepared to buy groceries in even 
numbers of pounds.  (I can now picture buying strawberries and sifting through 
the bins for that evasive berry that makes a full pound.)
 
Seriously, can still call these idiot legislators half-wits in the belief 
they will know what it means?  I sure would like to find an April 1st date on 
that bill!
 
My Class couldn't stop laughing for half an. . . .oops! 30 minutes when they 
read this  ;)
