Yes, the USAF Technical Orders for a system could fill a bookcase if printed, and they were printed then.  I don't remember many of the volumes but the -1 was "How to fly the airplane" [or operate the radio], -6 was the Illustrated Parts Breakdown, I think -5 was the parts list.  There was

Agreed, the Elecraft PDF's are very good, and I do edit my K3 PDFmanual with notes.  I've never printed it. Since the K3 is an essentially mature product [I haven't made a FW update in a couple of years ... I'm not even sure there has been a release in that period], nearly all the notes I add

Right on! First, I have over two decades of experience with replacing printed pages in Air Force Technical Orders. What a PITA, but necessary. Today, those are distributed electronically and printed locally. Often, it's not possible to make a change that affects only one page since the change,

2019-03-28 Thread Roger D Johnson
When I was in the military, and a pub was changed, they just sent new pages that had the changes. That way they didn't have to re- publish the whole thing. Could Elecraft tell us which pages had been changed so we can print them out without doing the whole manual? 73, Roger
