OT: Manufacturers may need to redesign Frequency Displays

[AJSOENKE]

Here is an rather old post with serious implications for amateurs.This could
mean major revisions in the way manufacturers display frequency. It may also
lead to serious complications with the design precision of many rigs and other
electronics devices.

On the Positive side, it will finally put an end to the idiotic pricing of
Gasoline to a tenth of a cent - as if that really matters anymore.  Be careful
the next time you buy a pair of shoes and be prepared to buy groceries in even
numbers of pounds.  (I can now picture buying strawberries and sifting through
the bins for that evasive berry that makes a full pound.)
 
Seriously, can still call these idiot legislators half-wits in the belief
they will know what it means?  I sure would like to find an April 1st date on
that bill!
 
My Class couldn't stop laughing for half an. . . .oops! 30 minutes when they
read this  ;)
