[Elecraft] Latest Sherwood table

[Byron Servies]

Every time this table comes out I am pleasantly surprised at how
competitive the K2 remains after so many years.  In nearly every
category except the sort criteria, the classic kit radio is still
right up there!

But, then, I am looking forward to building my own K2, so I've got
some rose-tinted glasses on. 20 dB is a lot.
