Dear Wayne, From my point of view I like to have a "written" (Paper or pdf) manual.
I see your effort in updating such a manual with every performance & feature extension of the firmware (e.g. APF) and additional modules like DVR, K144XV, P3, KPA500, K432XV (hopefully), .... A short description should be in the manual, more details & tips then at K3FAQ.htm. So to find a compromise a manual update once a year would be OK for me. vy 73 de Helmut - DL2MAJ ----- K3 #1804 On 06.12.2010 19:09, Wayne Burdick wrote: > Note that we already have an extensive FAQ page for the K3: > > http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3FAQ.htm > > There are many operating tips on this page, categorized by mode, etc. > NR is one of the areas covered. > > Would this be a good place to add more extensive operating advice? > This page can be updated much more easily than the owner's manual. > > 73, > Wayne > N6KR > > > > On Dec 6, 2010, at 9:51 AM, Edward Dickinson, III wrote: > > >> Hi Pete, >> >> Your thoughts regarding usage and perhaps techniques may have some >> merit.
