[Elecraft] K3 DSP processor speed

[Kevin Stover]

It reminds me of my computer overclocking days when bragging rights went 
to the guy who could run the processor at the highest clock without 
roasting throwing BSOD's or cooking the silicon. It's analogous to 
today's PC gamers who overclock video cards to get the very last frame 
per second on such and such game. Of course they can't actually SEE and 
increase in frame rate above about 30 frames per second. They need 
software to tell them they are getting 110 frames per second.

Some people grow up faster than others.
