I have the second edition of Fred Cady's book. Point me in the right direction and I'll plow through it.
While Fred's books provides a lot of good info in easy to read form, there's very little in that that can't be learned simply by studying the Elecraft User Manuals for your product. Note my use of the word "studying." This is necessary whether you're using Elecraft manuals (free) or Fred's (not free).
Elecraft K3, K3S, KX2, and KX3 all offer a high degree of customization and many controls to fit the needs of individual users. The Elecraft manuals are pretty good at providing detail of how all those settings and controls work. When set up properly to match individual operating style and needs, it's rare to need to use a menu except to choose very different styles and needs.
Taken together, the posts in this thread suggest a mental laziness about STUDYING the reference materials -- FCC Rules, equipment manuals, ARRL Handbook, ARRL Operating Manual, even the ARRL study guides for the license exams (and I mean the fundamental concepts, not just Q&A). Those of us who know what's going on and how things work have done that. It ain't that we're that much smarter, it's that we've paid our dues by studying.
