PDF electronic versions are available for “The Elecraft KX-Line” and “The Elecraft KXPA100, PX3 and 2M/4M Transverter. The PDF versions have all the material the printed versions have but do not have the comprehensive index because electronic readers can use their search function easier than looking things up in an index. Purchasers of the electronic version may make a backup and hard copy for themselves. Which books should I buy? “I travel a lot with my KX3 and use it with the KX-Line components when I am at home.” Consider “The Elecraft KX-Line” for use at home and the PDF version for on-the-road. Or if you would like a printed manual on-the-road, consider “The Portable Elecraft KX3” plus “The Elecraft KXPA100, PX3 and 2M/4M Transverter” for use at home. “I don’t do any travelling and just have a QRP KX3 station at home.” Your best bet is “The Elecraft KX-Line” book in case you ever want to upgrade to any of the KX-Line components (especially the PX3). “I have a full KX-Line station in my motorhome.” Choose “The Elecraft KX-Line” in printed or PDF form. “I have the first edition of “The Elecraft KX3 – Going for the Summit. What is the best way for me to update my information.” “The Elecraft KXPA100, PX3 and 2M/4M” is designed to do just that. The other changes from the first edition that the new books cover are, for the most part, minor editing and documentation of firmware changes.
