[Elecraft] New feature Documentation in presentation format

[Dave Perry]

I like the idea of webinars.  They are used a lot in my industry.  They tend 
to be on a specific topic and last 1 hour.  Elecraft could charge a small 
fee to cover costs.  If you cannot make a specific webinar, then they are 
usually available after the fact via DVD for a small fee as well.

I would also like to suggest a series of online video tutorials on each 
feature within the K3.  I have seen this done very successfully in the 
software industry.  Our POS software vendor has a whole series of videos 
posted on its website that focus on how to use major features within the 
software.  They tend to last  5 to 10 minutes -- similar to what you might 
see on YouTube but are more professionally produced.  Many integrate 
PowerPoint with video and audio demonstrations.   They need to be 
professionally produced and have a consistent format.  The topics could 
start out at the beginner level and then progress to very advanced 
subjects -- such as how to adjust AGC slope.  It would be great if the 
tutorials could hit every major feature within the K3 and even be referenced 
throughout a newly enhanced User Manual.

I've had my K3 for a year and a half now and I am still learning how to use 
many of the advanced features.  But that is what I love about the K3.  You 
don't outgrow it within a month or two.  There is always more to learn and 
discover -- plus new features like the P3 and APF.

Webinars and video tutorials would really put the K3 out in front of the 
other manufacturers!  Like I said, both are done a lot in my industry.

Dave, N4QS
