[Elecraft] Sherwood Receiver Test Data - K3S Added Today

[Jim Lowman]

Well, I guess the Kenwood TS-990S that I just unpacked doesn't qualify, 
even by virtue of its 54-pound weight.  :-)
No tubes, less than 75 pounds, and no place to tie a rope.

73 de Jim - AD6CW

P.S.  I haven't defected from Elecraft.  The K3S that I ordered at the 
Huntsville Hamfest is waiting for a clear place so that I can assemble it.
Still have the K1, K2, K3/10 and KX3.
