Vroomfondel & Majikthise (union reps) were persuaded by Deep Thought 
that they could clean up on the pundit circuit while he, worked on the 
answer to the QUESTION: the question of life, the universe, and 
everything.  Whose answer we all know as 42.


Deep Thought later mentioned the question may have been a little too broad.

I'll have to look that up. I haven't heard of the version of HHGTTG.

In addition to the other items mentions, there is also the question "What is

 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.

 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!
