The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Hexagonal Phase is currently being
broadcast directly from the BBC. Only one episode left to find out what
happens to Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, and her daughter
Random. As for Zaphod? Well, he's just this guy, you know.

The first radio show came out in the late 70s. Now, xx years later, we
are on part 6.

What makes the KE7X Elecraft book different than the Elecraft owner’s manuals?
Let’s start by saying the KE7X books do not have any information needed to
operate the radios that is not in the Elecraft Owner’s manuals. Owner’s
manuals are by design succinct and concise descriptions of the controls and
features of the radio. Elecraft manuals are very well done but I found during
my 40+ years as an EE prof that there are various ways that people learn. Some
are visual learners and learn by seeing diagrams and images, some can gain
comprehension just be reading. Others are more hands-on learners, needing the
“lab experience” to cement their understanding of the concepts. I’m a visual
and hands-on learner. When I first got my K3 I had trouble understanding how
the sub receiver worked and what the different antenna switching options were.
So I drew it out in a diagram and that made it much more clear to me. If that
helped me, wouldn’t it help others? So the idea of a K3 book was born. (The
original title was to be “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the K3” but I got talked
out of that!)
The concept that takes these books beyond the Elecraft manuals is support for
the visual, reading, and doing learning styles. There are many, many
diagrams. In the K3S book there are 131 diagrams, 16 on the sub receiver
alone. There are expanded explanations (and diagrams) for all radio operations
and in-depth explanations of topics such as the various controls for the
receiver’s AGC. And to top it all off, most topics have a “lab exercise” that
you can do sitting at your radio to make sure you understand the concept.
The printed versions of the books all have an index and, of course, the pdf
versions can be easily searched for what you are looking for.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Fred's vs Elecraft manuals
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.
