[Elecraft] Service manual

[Cady, Fred]

Thanks David and David.  The Elecraft books and "The Successful Ham Radio Operator's Handbook" have been fun to create and employ many of the things I learned in 40+ years of teaching EE students.  The main Elecraft product books (K3s, KX2,  KX2, KPA500/KAT500, and Macroprogramming) can be found at https://elecraft.com/collections/books.  Other Elecraft product books and "Successful..." are at www.lulu.com<http://www.lulu.com> (search for KE7X).  See www.ke7x.com<http://www.ke7x.com> for more information.


As of this morning Lulu has a 15% discount on print books (code LKAB317CD).  I think it is only available for print books and not the pdf versions.


BTW, Vic VE3YT and I are in the early, early stages of thinking about a book tentatively called "The Joy of Building".  We hope it can encourage people to build something and experience the joys that we felt in our early days and which continues today. Content suggestions welcome.


Cheers and 73,

Fred KE7X and Vic VE3YT

I would very heartily agree.  I have the Cady manual for all my Elecraft (all the radios that he wrote a manual for) radios and they are a joy to use, not only for info on the specific radio but also the extra info that is helpful to any ham.  His trouble shooting lists for "when you can't make a contact" are invaluable for ANY radio, Elecraft or other.  Also his latest book about everything a ham radio operator needs to know is a joy to read and a great refresher to this guy who has been a ham since 1960. I will buy anything he writes in the future.  Check out his list on the Elecraft site or Lulu Books.  (I am not related to Fred.  I just like his information and style of writing.)
