[Elecraft] K3 Pre Release Manual

[David Yarnes]

I downloaded mine (with no problem from Eric's first post), and I have 
skimmed through it.  Looks pretty good to me.  My only complaint, from that 
limited "look-see", is that just about all the photographs seem pretty 
marginal.  They are certainly good enough for the purpose of showing what 
needs to be connected to what, etc., but they sure lack sharpness.  I wonder 
what camera they used?  I would suggest an upgrade.

But, alas, this is the "Assembly Manual", and not the "Operating Manual".  I 
suspect most were hoping for the latter.  But the assembly manual did 
confirm one thing for sure--no soldering iron required!  At least I didn't 
see anything saying you would need one, but I might have missed something.

Obviously though, we are getting closer--much closer hopefully.  I've been 
spending the summer up on the Oregon coast, and for much of it I've been 
wondering if I should give Elecraft a different shipping address.  But it 
now appears I will be back in Arizona by the time the radio ships, so not to 
worry I guess.  this causes me to have another serious concern.  What if the 
radio comes just when I really need to be spending time removing all the 
weeds that have probably invaded my yard over the summer?  Decisions! 
Decisions!  Guess which task will be put on the back burner!!!!
