[Elecraft] KPA500 Coax size requirements

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Yes and the most issues I encounter in assisting other hams is that they 
DO NOT read the manuals.   They take the approach "aw heck, I know how 
that works".   Well that is just downright wrong.   Look at the 
questions asked and issues presented and just how many of those are or 
can be answered by inducing the idea of RTFM.

Just because the firmware was updated and it is no longer required to 
have a correct power up sequence as stated in the outdated manual, I 
don't view this certainly doesn't make it wrong operationally.   The 
later firmware just provided an option on power up sequence.

While on my soapbox, don't you just love it when someone asked a 
question or poses a problem, a solution is given, and they are never 
heard from again?  No thanks, no sharing the solution with others.    
All take and no give.   Seemingly the nature of society in general today.

It is really rather pathetic.
