[Elecraft] K4 training

[Grant Youngman]

It seems to me that if you need training classes or training videos to effectively use a radio, then that’s a problem — either with the radio’s owner (and I mean no disrespect to anyone) or with the radio.  

Elecraft will no doubt release some user tips for certain aspects of operation, just like they did for the K3 and other radios.  Many questions can be answered on the list, either by field testers, Elecraft, or others that get their hands on one before you do, like they always have been.  It isn’t a bad idea to collect these in a single location on the Elecraft website for reference, maybe organized by topic, provided that user submissions are vetted by Elecraft before they become gospel.

Oh, and none of the computers in my house have DVD drives any longer.  My grandkids have no clue what a CD/DVD even is. Which is why I’d suggest a web reference as a more universal option :-)

Many in this group have been responsible for writing, or at least editing, tech manuals for various pieces of high level equipment.  This wouldn't necessarily be to produce a full start-to-finish course in K4 operation, but a collection of user videos with hints & ideas etc.  (NOT however, ones showing the opening of the box, resulting in simple "look-at-my-new-toy" videos!).
