[Elecraft] k3s radio kit

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

My least favorite part is all the errata. Make all the notes in the
manual about where you have to look at the other piece of paper. You'll
see what I mean when you download the manual and the errata.

I'd suggest just-in-time printing and versioned manuals, but I don't run
the company.
