[Elecraft] Question about installing KAT1 in my K1

[Brett Howard]

The reason you don't update the manual is because when someone with an
older K1 goes to the website they can still see where they were informed
to cut a trace and they can follow the footsteps back to be able to re
connect that trace if they remove the KAT1 or something of that nature.
Sometimes maintaining revisioning and having manuals for all of the
versions in the field is important.  The online documentation has to
support those who have lost their documentation and/or a person who
bought an older board unit used.  They'll need too be able to open it up
and read why that trace is cut in case they have to debug an issue or
something....
