[Elecraft] Sherwood's receiver performance table updated

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Thanks for the link, Buck.  I had not checked Adam's site since the
7300 became generally available.

Adam adds a lot to the discussion.  The 7300 is actually a "hybrid"
DSR ... direct down conversion being used to drive the SDR "back end"
typical of Icom's current generation of transceivers.  In essence,
the direct sampling front end replaces the traditional analog up-
conversion front end and is responsible for a much "cleaner" (less
phase noise, etc.) transceiver.  The selectivity, AGC and features
are derived from the 36 KHz DSP "back end".

All in all very smart design as it leverages Icom's experience and
design costs.  It also explains the lack of dual receive as that
would have required a second, frequency agile "IF DSP" or complete
receiver chain like the KRX3.

73,
