Thanks Wayne.
With the manual online, and support for jumping to the relevant
section, it will be better than what I have with the K3, where
the manual is on my computer and I have to text search for the
relevant section. The neat thing is that the online manual can
be automatically updated
Wayne, you think of everything.

The "?" Help trigger is there but I think the text is pending completion of
the manual on which it will be based.

I have a vague memory that the K4 was supposed to include a
built-in help system. I can see it as being just showing the
relevant section of the manual, but it might be different.
Is it currently available, or is it waiting for the manual. or
is something different?

Video tutorials would be a good idea, Gary. I wouldn't encourage Elecraft
to delay K4 shipment until they are available, though. I suspect
owner-produced vids will surface quickly and will be helpful for some.
For what it's worth, as an experienced K3 user, I felt comfortable with my
field test
Not to mention being completely baffled about why (or even the fact that) a
transmitter's PA tube (a what?) plate current should be dipped rather than
maxed.

I as well have a K4 on deposit and think a "get it working" 5-10 page
instruction would be really nice, as well as a searchable complete manual.
Guessing youtube videos will come with time just as it did on the K3. Can
hardly wait for the K4 - maybe a surprise under the tree.
Thank you Ken
I do have a K4 on order, and I agree with Andy, I'd much rather have a
searchable pdf manual than a video!!!
Thanks Elecraft for the fine radios that I now own, and the coming K4!
