Actually, you can update the PDF version of Elecraft manuals. This is a
great (IMHO) way to keep track of firmware changes. I can carry all the
annotated manuals with me during portable/mobile expeditions for the
eventuality of a memory failure (mine, not the rigs'). It also saves a lot

The nice thing about the PDF manual is you can have it on your phone or
