Not exactly true.

I have Fred's books on all the K3, KX3, KPA500, etc..., and they are very good. In several places in Fred's book about the K3 he specifically tells the reader to read the owners manual. If I recall correctly the parts about configuration and calibration are two such spots.

IMHO the sequence of events for a new K3 owner should be Aaaembly Manual if you bought the kit, Operators Manual and Fred's books in that order, before ever turning the radio on.

For technical support Elecraft support, either email or telephone, and this reflector last. The first two will put you in touch with experts, the last, unless you get answers from about a half dozen or so people, and we all know who they are, not so much answers as guesses.

Maybe it was a mistake for Elecraft to offer factory built K3's. People would be forced to RTFM to get the rig built.
