How Do Elecraft Revision Sheets Work?

[Mike Walkington-3]

Hi all,

Can someone please explain how Elecraft's revision sheet numbering works?
For example, does a sheet numbered B-3 include all of the changes described
in B-1 and B-2, ie are the sheets accumulative?  What causes an
"alphabetical" level change? Etc etc

Hi Mike,

    If you are referring to errata sheets then to the best of my
knowledge, the letter corresponds to the board's revision letter, the
number indicates how many errata sheets have been issued against that
rev. of the board.  No, they are not cumulative.  You will likely also
find the date of the revision sheet useful.

Errata sheets show manual changes, and are labeled as to the revision  
of the product's manual to which they correspond. If the product's  
manual is at Rev B, then the errata sheet will show rev B. After  
that, the number is the sequence number for the sheet. If it is the  
first errata for the rev B manual, it will be B-1. Hopefully there  
won't be many errors, and we will catch them all in the first sheet.  
If not, then the second one will list all changes (making it  
cumulative). When we issue the next version of the manual (Rev C in  
this case) it should catch all the errata, and so those sheets will  
go away. Should the Rev C manual later need a change, it would be  
labeled C-1...

Make sense?

Hi Jack,

Thanks for this, it makes good sense.  I'm trying to work out what's the
best way of tracking the minor improvements/changes that are made along the
way, especially to the optional add-ons, and to catch up with any that are
worthwhile.
