[Elecraft] A modest proposal...

[goldtr8 at charter.net]

I would suggest that there is a deduct on the price if there is no 
manual.  But I bet if you start to remove stuff that is standard in your 
BOM that your costs will go up.

In my original order I thought that I had to purchase a manual 
separately and this was an expensive option.  I was relieved when I 
found out it was included.

I was on a tight budget when I built my K3 and built it as low cost as 
possible for a starting point.
