I think that's a bit of a slap in the face to those who have freely spent a lot of their time creating and editing the material in the Wiki for the benefit of other Elecraft users. Wikis are widely used as *the* documentation source for many open source projects. Editors and peer reviewers ensure that any incorrect information doesn't stay very long. If it works for software I don't see why it can't work for Elecraft radios. Presumably you seldom or never believe anything written on personal websites either, since there is even less control or expert review of the content than there is in a Wiki. (I've seen some complete nonsense written about propagation, to name just one example.) ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com KComm for K2/K3: www.g4ilo.com/kcomm.html -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-%22operating-scripts%22-to-help-first-time-users-tp18172375p18174952.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
