I transitioned, with a 40 year gap, from an AR88D and home brew CW/AM transmitter with a TT11 final to an TS-590S. No problem at all reading the manual and getting it working. I even found several firmware defects in the first few months of ownership. I recognize that not everyone has an engineering background and it's harder for some than others. When I was running the local club's extra and general courses I quickly learned the huge range of experience and ability in the amateur radio world. I also wondered how some of the students had passed the technician exam.
I'd far rather have a good searchable pdf manual than a training video. Don't count my vote though as I have no plans to buy a K4.
