I commend to you “The Devil’s DP Dictionary” by Stan Kelly-Bootle. “One line patch” - a code modification so trivial that it only requires a change to one line of code to correct its function. Further corrected by another one line patch. 72, Rich Hurd / WC3T / DMR: 3142737 Grid: FN20is Bureaucracy is always in search of self-preservation. — AA7BQ > On Jun 2, 2022, at 10:14, Rick Tavan wrote: > > :-) You CS majors will recall that you can prove that no significant > program can be proven to be correct for all inputs and conditions. > > /Rick N6XI > > On Thu, Jun 2, 2022 at 12:44 AM Walter Underwood > wrote: > On Jun 1, 2022, at 7:30 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: >>> >>> "There's always another bug," to quote an anonymous sage, but >> please...go for it.

Lol, yep. That's why code coverage is a necessary metric in unit testing.

Yes -- the later edition of the K3S PA. The circuitry for both the 10 W and 100 W stages was refined significantly when we adapted them for the K4.

[Elecraft] New K4 Beta Software Available (Release 30/Beta 2)
As you may recall, the previous beta release for the K4 (now known as Release 30/Beta 1), was still possessed by a couple of gremlins. Our software team dug in, and with this new beta (Release 30/Beta 2), we feel we've eradicated these pests. To make sure, we doubled the number of field testers a couple of weeks ago. Both our old and new FTs have been diligently testing the latest code, including a thorough ring-out during last weekend's CW contest (WPX).
