K3: Assembly manual question

[oe9fwv]

hello,

do I have to print out the assembly manual or is it contained in the parcel?
I am going to prepare myself when it arrives...

Here is what I did....

I printed out the manual and read it through several times.  Even thought I did that, some things did not make sense until I have the part in hand and could actually see what was going on.  I guess I am a visual person.  I took notes and wrote in the manual and did some highlighting.  I also put tabs in so I could find information quickly.

The manual does come with the parcel, but I left that alone to have a pristine copy of the manual.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

it comes with the kit - in b&W as opposed to Colour, but it was no  
problem - it certainly helps if you have the parts in front of you

Don‘t complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly don‘t try
to fix the situation yourself. It‘s dangerous. Leave it to a highly
untrained, unqualified, expendable professional.

A  cardinal rule at Elecraft is that the manuals are written by someone  who
has actually done the procedures, usually several times! If it's  operating
information, that's Wayne on the K3. If it's assembly procedures  it's
myself.
So thats how you produce such wonderful Manuals!



That way the process and how to describe each step is based on  real-life
hands-on experience doing it.

Because each step of the  procedure is based on "real life" and *not* what I
like to call a "thought  experiment" (a thought experiment is when someone
sits back and imagines  how it should work), sometimes the way a step is
worded looks strange until  you have the parts in hand.
Very true
 
I found having the colour version on the screen as well as the book in  front
of me enabled me to see three pages at once and save turning over.
