K3 - KE7X K3 Book

k6dgw
Mine arrived today.  WOW!  Hard to put it down, I've only had it for a
couple of hours, and a few errands got in the way of my initial scan but
as soon as I get the deck and front porch blown off, I'll be back into it.

I agonized a little over the PDF vs Spiralbound, and finally settled on
the paper version.  Despite the ability to search a PDF, I like a book
in my hands, and this one will lay flat on the table.  Besides, I
couldn't take the PDF with me for bedtime reading. :-)

For the first time, I understand the configuration and purpose of all
those jacks on the back.  Big TOC and a HUGE index.

73,

K3 - .pdf vs paper was: KE7X K3 Book

FWIW, The Amazon Kindle has the ability to display pdf files that are
sent to it as enclosures to e-mails sent to you at kindle.com.  This is
a free service from Amazon.  I have both my K3 manual and the schematic
on it.  The screen size is a little small, but you can select larger
print on a document by document basis.

GoodReader and the iPad convinced me to move all my technical/reference materials to searchable PDFs.  Indoors it's great. Outdoors not so much, have to be in the shade.

YEs, I bought the PDF and having had a quick look, finally decided that a hardcopy was in order and bought that too - it arrived this am - just in time for some light holiday reading :-)
