Re: [Elecraft] Book

The third edition of Fred's Elecraft K3 and P3 book became available in 2015. It assumes the K3S is already available, and that you might be buying a used K3 and wondering whether to upgrade it with the KSYN3A, the KIO3B and the KXV3B. The book describes how to install these components, and you

Re: [Elecraft] Reaching across the chronological divide
