THEN, read it a THIRD time with the device in your hands and go through every feature, knob, switch, and connector....  Don't need to learn it ALL, but marrying what you read the first two times with the actual device will make things "stick" and make it easier to remember 1) what is IN the manual, and 2) speed your location of the information tidbit you need when the time comes to search.

I have a color printed copy of every manual published and keep them updated with all changes in nice neat, tabbed binders. Have to confess though, that I am using the Elecraft PDF "encyclopedia" I compiled with Adobe Acrobat (a la ARRL pubs DVDs).  It has ALL pubs/manuals in it, and I can search it all at once, or per manual.

Yes, download the manual from the Elecraft site  ......print it out ....and read it, cover to cover, and word for word, at least twice.    It is amazing how much info is covered in the manual and available to all hams.

Hello list,

I am reliably informed, by USPS, that a new KX3 has made it across the Atlantic to beautiful Wales, via New York and London. I hope to be opening the box soon.

Before I do, I thought I’d ask you guys if you have any advice for a newbie....before I open the box,

Joe-can’t-wait, MW1MWD
