A good way to get K3 documentation onto an iPad is to take the PDF files for the K3 Owner's manual, Programmer's Manual and schematics from the Elecraft web site and drop them into the Books section of iTunes' Library. You then connect the iPad, navigate into the iPad's Books section in iTunes and perform a Sync. Done. Your searchable documentation are now in the PDF shelf of iBooks in the iPad. You can magnify the K3 schematics to where you can actually read it :-). I don't use my iPad to surf the web or to read email on -- but it is chock full of PDF documents (patents, white papers, manuals, schematics). Much easier than riffling through binders for printed documents. If you have some document that is not in PDF form, just print it in Mac OS X, but then select the PDF option (button on bottom left of the print dialog) to create a PDF file, which you can download to the iPad. You can remove and insert individual PDF pages using Preview.app, so it is easy to merge two manuals, or insert some of your own notes pages into a manual, before downloading them to the iPad. 73 Chen, W7AY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
