[Elecraft] K3: cheap and dirty manual "updates"

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Prior to receipt of my first K3 and post receipt of the Lisa-gram, I
printed out the manual in B/W using plain paper stock that was
pre-punched for a 3-ring notebook.  I did the same with the owners
manual.

I used the pre-punched, "plain paper" copy in the 3-ring binder to (a)
confirm inventory and make notes in the margins, such as whether or
not the counts matched, what to "be careful of," etc. and (b) make
other comments as I went along and especially to flag start/stop
points since I did assembly over 3 days, mostly a couple hours at a
time after I got home from work.

The other nice thing about this is that (a) I didn't care if I
scribbled in it, (b) I had the "back side" of each page blank so I had
even more room to scribble, (c) I could add in pages (one at a time)
if necessary [but I haven't done that yet].

During assembly, if I had the desire see something "better" than my
plain-jane b/w, low quality printed manual, I took a look at the one I
downloaded with the color pictures.  The "fancy" one supplied from
Elecraft is B/W.  That one basically sits in my "ham manuals" drawer,
unused.

Worked well for me!
