[Elecraft] More thorough documentation

[Jim Garland]

I agree that the K3 user documentation is pretty amateurish, but it's vastly
better than, say, the SteppIR documentation.  On the other hand, the K3
assembly instructions are outstanding.  Writing good technical manuals is
MUCH harder than most people realize and often gets short shrift by
manufacturers.

 

I'd like to see a K3 service manual, or at least a comprehensive circuit
description. Without some explanation, the downloaded schematics are pretty
worthless to somebody trying to understand the radio. In particular, the
published K3 block diagram is an exercise in obscurity. In my opinion, it's
nearly impossible for someone even to follow the receive or transmit signal
path.
