Need for advice was; (More Thorough Documentation

George
HMMMM, I wonder why one of you guys that know how it should done, don't go  
ahead and write the perfect manual. (Seriously) Perhaps Elecraft would buy  
it. Or this could be your donation to your fellow K3 owners. It would save
a lot  of space on the reflector too. Only those who can't read would have  
questions. 73 George/W2BPI

Camera owner's manuals are usually pretty poor, and as a result there's a pretty healthy aftermarket of "How to Use Your ______" books out there.  Any one camera sells more in a month than all the K3s out there so no one's gonna get rich or anything.  It's still a worthwhile endeavour though.

After the perfect manual has been written in English, a useful next step
IMHO would be to have the manual translated properly into some other
language(s). Expensive yes, but there must be a large number of Elecraft's
customers, and potential customers, who have difficulty with English. A
judgement of cost vs. return of course. The operative word is "properly".

Hello Geoff,

I will look forward to Chinese manual.

To my knowledge, many Mainland Chinese hams are interested in K3 and K2. 
However, they are frightened by the English manual
 cheers,


Johnny VR2XMC
