K4 built-in operating manual now available

[wayne burdick]

The K4 has a complete operating manual built in, accessible by taping the "?" icon at the lower left-hand corner of the screen. This is a convenient supplement to the full owner's manual (in progress).

The built-in operating manual has small and large screen formats. It's a hyperlinked .html document that will be continuously updated to reflect the current software level. You can tap highlighted links on the LCD to navigating forwards/backwards as in any browser, or search by entering text using the on-screen keyboard. The "LAST CTRL" button allows you to go directly to information pertaining to controls recently used.

Several early reviewers have vetted a draft of the built-in operating manual (by viewing it with a browser on a computer or mobile device). It has been revised and is now posted on our website, at:

https://ftp.elecraft.com/K4/Manuals%20Downloads/K4%20Built-In%20Operating%20Manual%20rev%20A-7/K4BuiltInOperatingManualrevA7.html

Further suggestions or comments are welcome.

The built-in operating manual has a limited number of illustrations, since it is intended to be used from within the radio itself, which provides context. Another way to familiarize yourself with the front panel is to read through the "Introduction to the Elecraft K4", at:

Wayne fantastic.    It would be a real coup if sometime it was possible to add additional languages.   I know this is unreasonable and the suggestions never ending.    Such a project, unless some ops took on themselves to produce this translation for their native tongue is insane.    Do not look to me for Gaelic.    Now how is this for being unreasonable.    You guys are doing a fine job.73 Doug EI2CNUSent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Hi Doug,

If someone wants to translate the built-in manual into another language, we'll definitely make it accessible. In that case we would have to share the source material with them. It's authored as a Google doc so this is easy to do.
