I would suggest that there is a deduct on the price if there is no manual. But I bet if you start to remove stuff that is standard in your BOM that your costs will go up.
In my original order I thought that I had to purchase a manual separately and this was an expensive option. I was relieved when I found out it was included. I was on a tight budget when I built my K3 and built it as low cost as possible for a starting point. ~73 Don KD8NNU On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 1:11 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > For now, we'll continue to send printed manuals with the kits and make > the .pdf versions available for download. > > However, if you find that you don't use the paper manual, and you have > a green streak (like me!), feel free to return it so we can reuse it. > > Meanwhile, I'll ask Lisa and Eric if there's a practical way for us to > make printed manuals optional. > > 73, > Wayne > N6KR > > >> On 8/21/2011 1:14 AM, Alastair Couper wrote: > >>> I would like to suggest that the good folks at Elecraft consider >>> making >>> paper manuals an optional item at check out time.
