[Elecraft] Proposal for change pages for manuals

One of the nice things about Elecraft gear is the continuous improvement 
that goes on, even years after initial release.  Unfortunately, these 
improvements are often only documented at release time, and nine years' 
worth (in my case) is hard to organize.

Recently, I ran into issues with my middle-aged K3 that turned out to be 
caused by a change in functionality  undocumented in my manual from 
2010, which I inadvertently triggered.

Why wouldn't it be possible to put someone to work identifying which 
pages in each manual have been changed or added and then producing 
"change pages" that we could print out and insert - for example a new 
page 6, and pages 6a, 6b etc., as needed to bring the manual back in 
sync with the hardware.

It seems to me that this job, while boring, wouldn't be that difficult, 
and the benefits to us customers seem obvious.
