I like that the manuals for the K1 and K2 are online, for the reasons that were stated. I assume that this is true for the K3, but I'm new to it, but since the KX3 manual is also out there in PDF, it's a pretty sure bet.
The only thing that I need to do is to copy them to my Tablet; they already reside on my main computer. While very attractive, well-done and professional, the K1/K2/K3 manuals are large. Being spiral-bound does help with the desk space. No, I wouldn't mind at all if Elecraft did away with the printed version of the *user's* manual. It is still handy to have the printed assembly manual if one buys the equipment as a kit, although the relevant pages could be printed so that each step of the assembly could be checked off. It's been some years since commercially-available computer software has been packed with printed manuals. Much easier to include the manual on a CD and have the latest version posted to the manufacturer's website. Anyone remember the weight of the numerous manuals that accompanied something like the Microsoft C compiler? I'm going more and more paperless, with a Kindle and a Kindle, Nook and generic e-reader for my Tablet. Now that an electronic version of QST and CQ Magazines are available, that will be less paper to accumulate (and lose!) around the house. 73 de Jim - AD6CW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
