Well, I am not Wayne and I don't own Elecraft, just a builder. The chap
asked for input of what we thought and I gave my honest evaluation as I see
it. Anything different would have been 'puff". He asked for our advice, I
didn't ask you for yours. I said, "your input can't hurt". But on the

I think you all should take Wayne's lead and say, "Thanks for the
comments," rather than start with the puffery and one-upsmanship. I read
articles AFTER I built my kit (didn't know they were there). Also, if
you've ever had to deal with customers, you'll know that there's a huge

I have to agree with Lee and Mike. As a kitbuilder you should not expect
the manufacturer to train you how to solder, what tools to use, how to
operate a multimeter... But, But
on the Elecraft home page there is a section called 'Builders Resources'.
Guess what. Articles on 'How to Solder' and 'Sum

A wise man would always use a fused DC power lead, not just for initial testing
but also for normal operation. If you ever develope a DC power short, such a
you got the box, did you need instructions on which
side to open it? As I said, your stuff does no harm but most of what you
are saying is obvious. I had zero problem with the manual as it is.

Jeff,
Great suggestions:
Technical writing is the most difficult form of communication. And for a
project of this size--the job is enormous. The elecraft manual is a wonder.
They have done a fabulous job of putting together a complete manual that has
allowed thousands of hams to build their kit
After completing my K1, I have some suggested additions to the K1 Manual
Errata sheet.
1. Page 16 - A better explanation of U1 installation is needed. For
example, "If your IC has a notch at one end, align the notch with the one
on the outline, then place it on the board."
2. Page 24, column 2
