[Elecraft] No RTFM

[Gary Gregory]

Common sense is a good thing to have handy when firing up a new K3...Grin

All knobs to the right is not good..:-(

I found the K3 one of the most delightful radios to learn to use, coming
from an FTdx-9000D I was smitten by the simplicity of the K3 and just 'Wowed
Out' over what it could do. Three years plus down the track and I am still
very impressed and even now, just every now and then, I discover a forgotten
tweak and it reaffirms my belief in the K3.

Thanks to ALL the "Ele_Team", what a great product....

I still carry the manual wherever I take the K3...you just never know......

73's
