Fair question. From my perspective...
Elecraft manuals are well written and follow the pattern of all
manufacturer's User Manuals. They are like the "dash one" in the set of
Air Force Tech Orders for some piece of equipment ... "How to fly the
airplane." They describe how to configure cables and other hardware,
how to use the menu system, and how to operate the radio.
Fred's book approaches it sort of at right angles to Elecraft, delving
much more deeply into why you would want to choose one configuration
over another, the practical effects of various configuration options,
etc. It gives alternate tables and organization for some of the data
that gets buried in larger tables in the Elecraft manual. The Elecraft
manual will tell you some setting is remembered by band ... Cady will
follow that through with what it means in operational situations.
They are very much complementary, and I find I use them about equally.
I have the spiral bound book, it lays flat on the desk and I can make
notes in it.

Fred and all,
Can you describe in general how your books differ from Elecraft
manuals? I haven't found Elecaft manuals to be lacking and very much
like how direct and concise they are. Your books are popular, making
me wonder what you've added?
Tnx es 73!

Hi Neil
No never did a K2 book.
Sorry the 15% discount at Lulu doesn't apply to pdf files.
The K3S, KX3, and KX2 hard copy books are only available through
Elecraft. Sorry about that too.
