Would it be helpful to organize and create a sort of FlexRadio "Table of Contents" for categories, topics, errata, references, etc. and then providing "links" to already written articles and updates? "Links" to Knowledge Base articles, WIKI, as well as the current Flex manual topics, etc. could maybe then be accessed without having to incorporate a huge body of information into one document. It might be something that could be easily updated as new information becomes available?
Just a thought. The effort being considered is timely. Dave W7IWW On May 29, 2013, at 10:18 AM, "Patrick Greenlee" <patric...@windstream.net> wrote: > Fools rush in...
