[Elecraft] K3S Owner's Manual now available on-line

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

The K3S owner's manual and errata can be obtained using these links:

   http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3S%20Owner%27s%20man%20A1.pdf
   http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3S%20Owner%27s%20man%20errata%20A1-1.pdf

This is the first edition of the manual, so there are likely to be further improvements. Feel free to send comments and suggestions directly to me.

If you're already familiar with the K3, and would like to avoid reading the entire K3S manual just to find out what's new, you might check out at least following pages:

   3  intro, which summary of improvements from K3 -> K3S
   7  more detail on features
  17  rear panel (see KIO3B panel, upper RH corner)
  18  K3S/P3/PC connections via USB, etc.
  25  preamp and attenuator controls
  41  using the 100-550 kHz range
  45  details on preamp 2 (with sub RX, etc.)
  47  updated list of option modules, including applicability
  49  module enables (note that the KXV3B is included with the K3S--no longer an option)
  50  misc. new considerations for radio configuration
  50  a nice side view of new VFO A rubber band :)
  55  main menu listings (including new ATTEN menu entry, linked to the ATTN switch)
  57  config menu listings (new PREAMP 2 menu entry; some others rewritten to improve clarity, e.g. SIG RMV)
  79  theory of operation, KIO3B
  81  theory of operation, KSYN3A

In addition to the above, the manual has been general improved and clarified.

73,
