[Elecraft] K1 minor stumbling block...

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

I no longer do all that manual updating from the errata.  All I do is make 
a bold note to "see errata #2" or whatever at the appropriate point in the 
manual.  Saves all that writing and cutting and pasting of pictures etc.

Enjoy the 4th.  My daughter is tall ships racing up the coast from 
Charleston to Boston in a square rigger, the barque Europa.  Currently 
abeam Long Island.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
