[Elecraft] A modest proposal...

[Fred Jensen]

While I doubt Elecraft will give up printed manuals ... I'm in the 
printed manual camp.

1.  PDF's are great, at times, for example you can search them.  For 
"real" use, I need a book with pages to turn and a place to stick 
post-its.  I know you can do that in a PDF, but it's not the same.

2.  I end up printing pages out of PDF manuals anyway.

3.  My KE7X book is spiral bound, it lays flat, it is perfect.

4.  I write and draw in my manuals on the theory that, "If I figure it 
out once, I don't want to have to do it again."

5.  I can't imagine assembling my K2 or KX1 from a screen.

73,
