I should not have made it sound like I had to have a "hard" paper copy....I
would appreciate a PDF just as much. I am not opposed to printing my own
from a PDF if it would save Flex some money and make it a reality.

With the introduction of the Apple iPad tablet, I now have ALL my
manuals/service manuals etc all on my tablet.
There is an app called "Goodreader" for the iPad. Make files in Goodreader
for the various manufacturers, and
download your manuals off the internet and into your iPad. Generally
speaking, my iPad is always with me
wherever I go, so ALL my manuals including VHF/UHF HT, mobile, HF,
amplifiers, ATU, noise cancelling units
etc etc are all on there, and easy and quick to get to. I also have lots of
other ham apps on the tablet, so it is really
convenient to have everything on there and take it with me.
All new manuals that arrive in the boxes, stay untouched and go into my
filing cabinet, and remain in new
condition - something that buyers appreciate if I sell the item one day

George gets a Gold star IMO ! Exactly my thoughts. There are tons of
things I wish I knew more about my radio to make it even more enjoyable.
Many times I am forced to go hunting for tips & tidbits using forums,
online groups, & over-the-air nets in the hopes of getting an answer. The
process can take days or even weeks ! And even then the info found is
usually not directly from Flex so who knows if it is right. What's wrong
with putting it in hard writing once in a while ? An updated manual is not
asking for too much IMO, esp considering the price of the product. I make
an effort to look around for answers, but like many, I am forced to give
up after some time and just forget about it. I love my Flex but not
having a good reference document is the greatest shortcoming of my radio.

Case in point, if you open up Power SDR, then Setup, then DSP. Under
the Options tab is “Leak” What does “Leak” do?? There is no explanation
in the docs that explain in detail what it does! What do I have to spend
time searching through update docs and forums to find out?
This was obviously added after the docs where published, what would it
have taken to add this to the docs and republish?
Yes after playing around with it for a few hours and listening you may
figure it out, but wouldn’t it have been a time saver to know before you
adjusted this what it actually did!
There are other cases like this.
I’m just saying that the Flex radios are the best thing out there right
now (IMO), Why fall short with the docs?
