For kit deliveries I don¹t mind getting the kit followed by the assembly manual posted online when it is ready! Save a tree! Same for the user manual, save a tree.
As a side note, the pdf user manual format is great for reading on an iPhone. With some minor zoom control it is easy to navigate and gives me the ability to have a quick reference without carrying the the full size document. Use the save in iBook function to keep a permanent copy on the phone. Anticipation growing!

We have all the parts and finished assemblies, and we're putting things together and testing as we speak. With a complex new product it takes time to work out the manufacturing and test issues, but our "throughput" should increase rapidly. Those who receive the first batch of KX3s should be aware of a few things: - Some firmware features are still being added or improved, and we could be releasing new beta code as often as every few days. You can load new code whenever you find it convenient. - There are some last-minute hardware items that will be shipped after the radio itself. This includes the battery charger (probably a few weeks away). Any such items will be very easy to install. - The printed owner's manual will initially be at revision A3. The electronic version of the manual will be updated much more often, including the errata sheet. Of course the electronic version is also searchable. - Because of last-minute changes, the first edition of the kit assembly manual is probably out another week. We have to test the assembly and configuration procedures to make sure everything is working. No doubt we've overlooked a few things in firmware or documentation. We'll answer any questions as quickly as possible. But we're very much looking forward to getting your KX3s shipped! 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
