[Elecraft] KAT500 operation?

[Rick Bates, WA6NHC]

If the commentary announcing new firmware suggests a new mode, feature or setting, I'll read the release notes.  Most updates are tweaks, not new items, but I'm grateful for all of them.

I generally try to NOT read the user documentation (for the first day or so) and will see how far I can get by poking around the program or device.  That is one of my personal 'tests' on the user interface, which should make complex things, simple to the user.

However, in the case of the K line, eventually reading the documentation pays off because of the sheer complexity and number of choices available for personal preferences.  Elecraft still manages to keep things simple, bravo!
