[Elecraft] Manuals

Thu Nov 21 17:54:00 2002

Frankly, due to the powerful search capabilities of Adobe Acrobat I
reference the online manuals more than the hard copy book itself.

It's amazing how Adobe Acrobat will find (say) 'R14' in the manual even on
the schematic and parts placement drawings.  The ability to search the
*entire* manual in one 'swoop' can provide insight to (for example) when a
part is installed, if it is referenced in an alignment procedure, what it
looks like, where it's located on a board, in the schematic etc. just by
hitting 'find again'.

Thus, I'd vote for keeping the entire manual intact, as is (and add the
errata to the main manual as well).

Then, in addition, have the operating section available as a seperate
'manual' in .pdf as well.

Just my .02 worth
