[Elecraft] Sherwood's receiver performance table updated

fwiw, 3 issues concern me about the 7300:

1. Some IC7300 recordings I've downloaded indicated very low AGC Threshold
and limited audio dynamic range.  There's no control over threshold and
slope.  I haven't read about any seasoned users fiddling with gain settings
to try and milk more audio dynamic range and higher threshold out of the
7300.

2. Reports are that something is "broken" with the IP+ implementation -
noise floor increases greatly.  And without IP+, DR is limited as the
sherweng.com table shows.  My understanding is that IP+ use is sometimes
necessary to avoid OVF (ADC overflow).  This is a 14-bit ADC.

3.  There still seems to be discussion on whether or not the 7300 can
produce power spikes in ssb

Looks like a good first effort in direct sampling design from Icom.  I'll
wait for their second try.

73, Barry N1EU
