[Elecraft] Using Acrobat on Schematics

[Tom Mc]

Hi Gang,

  The thread on reading the KDSP2 Schematics with Acrobat reminds me of a
post from quite a while ago...I'm sure most of you already know this, but in
case some don't, it may be worthwhile to repeat.

The original poster pointed out that quite often he had a difficult time
finding a particular component listed on the schematic.  By using the
Acrobat "find" feature along with the file posted by Elecraft files to their
site, the location of component is highlighted on the screen.---Pretty neat!
