[Elecraft] K4 RX routing?

Dear OMs and YLs,
     Carl is absolutely right.  The K4 and its different variations is a
complex radio.   We need someone to write a "Lady Bird" users guide.    Fred
Cady did a great job and is sorely missed.    Now Elecraft has a new
challenge.   You produce good manuals but perhaps did not have the time to
do what Fred did and after all Fred was a retired EE professor - a great
teacher.   The manual is important!   You are writing in your native tongue
and hopefully will do a great job as you do every where else.

Further on this:

Please include a comprehensive description of RX antenna routing in the K4
manual. I could never understand the K3 with much confidence until I read
Fred Cady's KE7X (SK) book, and sadly Fred will not be writing a K4 book.
Just try figuring out what "RX Ant Out" does by reading the K3 manual. You
can GUESS what it does but a manual shouldn't leave you guessing.
