[Elecraft] A modest proposal...

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

I went online and downloaded and printed my own assembly manual.  I had read 
it completely twice before my K3 arrived.  I could not have done this if I 
had to wait for a printed manual to come with my radio and most likely would 
not have read it as carefully as I did waiting for my K3.  I was not in a 
rush to get-er-done.  I learned a lot studying the assembly instructions 
without having the radio parts to look at and many times I had to read a 
passage carefully more than once to understand what they were talking about 
since I could not look at the part or area of the radio pictured.  I would 
not want to bypass the experience and knowledge gained by printing my own 
instructions.  I did not use the book that came with the radio as I had a 
newer one downloaded that had just been released when my radio arrived.
