I do appreciate a PDF that is not write protected, so that I can make my own notes and correct mistakes. I also appreciate a manual that is updated regularly. I don't like trolling lists and doing web searches, just to get vital information, and it is not a good use of employee time to be answering such questions repeatedly. I simply save each PDF version with all its notes, and then I can look in each version that I have.

Hi Rich,

I've also done a lot of tech writing over the years, including manuals 
for engineering software. Elecraft manuals are all on their website, and 
in my experience are pretty good. A printed copy is packed with their 
products. My only complaint about revisions (and there are revisions, 
mostly due to firmware upgrades) is that online versions should include 
full change logs.  Each product has its own updating program, and last I 
looked, the only place they publish change logs, and it doesn't 
reference the manual. This is convenient for Elecraft, but IMO, lousy 
for the user.
