[Elecraft] K3 Need for advice was; (More Thorough Documentation)

[Doug Turnbull]

These tutorial meetings could be organized locally by clubs or groups of
users on an ad hoc basis.   Good documentation is still needed though as
many live in distant parts and the class just held will do the fellow who
purchases two months later no good at all.   Documentation is always there
to reference.   The good people at Elecraft are then in a tough spot because
they improve the K3 and then need to look to documentation updating, which
is not a trivial task especially if properly indexed and cross referenced.
I find myself in sympathy both with Elecraft and those who would like
improved documentation.

I probably will purchase a new manual this summer for though I can print one
out with ease; a properly bound manual is a worthwhile convenience to me.
Though a fond user of Kindle, I am not enamored of reading material from a
computer screen and of course I can print it but that manual is a great help
for quickly finding information in.

I hope the people in Elecraft do not feel that they are being beaten on over
this issue.   I think it clear that they have a most loyal and very largely
satisfied customer base who are salesmen for their product.   This is not to
say that we are not all striving and seeking more for this approach brings
progress.   Thank you Elecraft!

OK, maybe it's a four-hour class. :) Crazy Huh? "

Not crazy at all! Could also be held at Pacificon etc as one part of a K3
operators get-together.
[Which I'd very much like to attend, BTW.]

"Why" is essential; "what" and "how" are not enough.
