[Elecraft] Re: K1 ATU confusing step (RF-R39)

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Andrew,

Is your KAT1 manual revision C? If so, immediately above the step regarding
RF-R39 it should mention that "the following five steps are only necessary if
you have revision D or earlier of the K1 RF board." My guess is that you have
revision E of the K1 RF board, so the note applies, and you can ignore the five steps.

If this is the case, can you suggest any way I can improve the informational
note above the five steps to make it less likely that someone would miss it?

Thanks,

Wayne
