[Elecraft] K4 training

[Andy Durbin]

I transitioned, with a 40 year gap, from an AR88D and home brew CW/AM transmitter with a TT11 final to an TS-590S.  No problem at all reading the manual and getting it working.  I even found several firmware defects in the first few months of ownership.    I recognize that not everyone has an engineering background and it's harder for some than others.  When I was running the local club's extra and general courses I quickly learned the huge range of experience and ability in the amateur radio world.  I also wondered how some of the students had passed the technician exam.

I'd far rather have a good searchable pdf manual than a training video.   Don't count my vote though as I have no plans to buy a K4.
