Yes, That's the current way of things. What I suggest would be more like an on-line video operator's manual sanctioned by Elecraft, with logical menu to find the how-to, exactly, the function you want being done.
I'm not thinking so much where is the Power Switch, but more like how to determine which thought process to use with the K4/K4D/K4HD to best accomplish commonly used procedures, and then how to get that done. Things like the display will be a bugger for awhile & the picture being worth a thousand words concept is magnified with concise video. Do-it-yourselfers on youtube will not get to the point & will be offering opinions which isn't helpful to the direct question. More, you'll have to use youtube's search engine to hopefully find what you're looking for, and then be subjected to advertisements before and during the presentation. It'll all be sorted out, I'm just thinking the official video how-to would be a real asset to many. Maybe not. 73 & stay safe, Gary KA1J > I AM SURE... > When the first K4 is in the hands of users, that there will be a > "flurry" of YouTube un-boxing videos.
