Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Owner's Manual Errata update, rev B4-4

2013-02-25 Thread geoff allsup
Thanks, Don.  I understand that was the intention with the manual, and I 
do follow the Firmware/Manual update notes, as well as the reflector.  
At the moment, the firmware update notes document has reached 13 pages 
and is full of little tidbits and tweaks for the manual, as well as an 
occasional outright change or addition.  And I'm certain I've already 
lost track of some bits of reflector wisdom from Wayne and Eric that 
might be valuable in a manual update as well.   While I can mark up my 
paper manual, it's not so easy to use the Rev B4 PDF manual from last 
June plus the update notes that I keep on my PC and iPad and iPhone any 
more!  In any case, just curious.  I'm sure the guys will updtae the 
manual when they feel the time is right :-) Meanwhile, I'm having a ton 
of fun with my KX3!!

Geoff,

The KX3 manual was written to include many items that were "in plan" 
but not yet implemented in firmware.  The Errata sheet that came with 
your KX3 indicated those items that had not yet been included when you 
purchased your KX3.
That means that the KX3 manual was written way ahead of the current 
firmware, and the process has been 'chipping away' at the items listed 
in your Errata sheet.  For the most part, the KX3 manual is still 
current.  Check the Firmware Update notes to see what has been added - 
then scratch off those items on your Errata sheet and you should have 
an up to date manual.


Yes, there will be a time when a new manual will be required, but I 
don't think we are there yet.
