[Elecraft] Sherwood Receiver Tests

[Fred Jensen]

Just love pronouncements as the concrete hardens around them! 😉  "640 
kB should be enough for everyone."*  "At very best, the worldwide market 
for a computer like this will be six or seven."**  "The K3s is a dead end."

A "dead end" road stops.  It no longer works as a road.  The 
functionality of my K3 [#642 with new synth, gen coverage BPF] continues 
and will continue until something breaks.  It's not a dead end.

73,

* Often incorrectly attributed to Bill Gates
** Allegedly forecast by an IBM executive in the late 50's
