[Elecraft] That's a whole lotta buttons and knobs!

[David Gilbert]

When I first started working in the semiconductor business in the 
mid-70's, companies in Asia would buy our unmarked test rejects to stuff 
them into transistor radios to fluff up the transistor count. Lot's of 
"12-transistor radios" back then had a lot fewer devices that actually 
did anything circuit-wise.
