[Elecraft] VFO A>B

[David Yarnes]

Julian and All,

This kind of thing emphasizes the value of something I suggested previously. 
I think the manual should be downloadable in Word, or some equivalent, and 
then updated by just revising the individual pages.  A revision page would 
be designated by the page number plus an appropriate letter or decimal 
follower, like "43.1" or "43.2", etc.  You would only have to download the 
overall manual once, and then just download revision pages.  If you put the 
manual in a loose leaf binder, revisions are easy to insert.  This method is 
used extensively in professional reference material.  Manual updates can 
also be indexed and dated (as should revision pages).  If we are going to 
have a radio that is continuously upgradeable, I think the manual should 
similarly be "upgradeable" in some fashion like this.  That way you don't 
have to be constantly looking for "errata" sheets which might alter the 
procedure you are looking for.

Just my humble opinion!
