[Elecraft] Sherwood Receiver Test Data - K3S Added Today

Well for the Flex 6000 series you keep one hand on the so called AGC-T
control. Since there is no hardware AGC you're doomed to constantly
juggling the input level.
I had one here and used the Flex Control knob to perform that function.
Using it this way brings back memories of Pre-AGC days and frequent
adjustment of the RF gain knob.
