I agree, As long as there are assembly manuals, a printed manual is mandatory. Try assembling any project from a computer screen and you will quickly realize the value of printed manuals - you can make marginal notes, you can put in actual check marks as you complete a step on the instructions.
Yes, the ,pdf versions of manuals have come a long way, and you can now add comments and notes in the Adobe Reader but still a printed manual is desirable for initial construction. In cases where printed manuals are desirable, errata sheets are necessary. If you will be receiving an Elecraft product anytime soon, please look at the Errata sheet as a first order of business (after unpacking your new prize). Enter the required changes in the manual and then begin your building (or operating) experience. We are not yet a "paperless" society, and for those projects that require some physical construction, I believe the paper should never go away - it is essential. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/11/2012 9:17 PM, r miles wrote: > I still want a printed manual.
