I guess I must be totally out to lunch, and out of date.

What I am hearing (reading) from several list postings is that the only
reason PCB diagrams have never been supplied **in any form** by Elecraft is
that:

(1) Someone besides Elecraft has to produce the images (?!), and/or
(2) It would make manual downloads too large, and/or
(3) It would require more server capacity, and/or
(4) it would require more bandwidth.

All that may be true, BUT whatever happened to the idea of conveying the
desired information

    ***** on a simple piece of paper with ink on it *****

 to be delivered by the Postal Service when the kit is shipped???????

I hate to think that I've been waiting for PCB trace diagrams for my K1 for
3.5 years because no one remembered that cheap and low-tech mode of
information transfer.

Apparently the mindset has been accepted that information must ONLY be
conveyed electronically.

I'm sorry to harp on this, but it seems from the e-mails that I've received
that I am far from being alone in wondering why this vital documentation has
been withheld.
