Your new rig will come out of the box ready to TX, but you will need to 
hook up a paddle, mic, computer, and antenna.

Like any complex piece of gear, the first move is ALWAYS to STUDY THE 
MANUAL.  It will tell you how to hook stuff up to the radio, how the 
controls work, how the meters work, etc. This is vital stuff, so take 
your time with it. You can even get a running start by downloading the 
manual from the Elecraft website and studying it while you wait for UPS. :)

Yes, there are menus and options, but they mostly are for things you add 
to the radio, or different ways you want the radio to work. Leave this 
stuff for later.
