I hear you, Fred. And I personally would fall into the camp that would prefer
a 30MB manual with high-res photos. :-) But as a tech writer for a major
silicon valley semiconductor company, I know that PDF file size is always a
bone of contention. Short of offering two different versions of the manual
(and I don't know of anyone who has actually done that), I doubt there's any
way to meet everybody's expectations. Especially in the amateur market, there
are a lot of customers whose only practical Internet solution is still modem
dial-up, not necessarily because of the expense of broadband, but because
broadband simply isn't available short of satellite (very expensive by
comparison, and not all that broad anyway). Since the US is practically a
generation behind most other industrial countries in the universal deployment
of a true broadband infrastructure, and seems politically indisposed to pull
development of this vital national resource into the public sector where it
rightfully belongs, I don't expect this situation to change in the near
future.

regarding the LOW REZ almost FUZZY photos. In 2007
there is not need to take photos which are not clear,
almost whatever the rez is set to. My Canon A95
takes much clearer digital photos, at all
resolutions. In FINAL MANUAL - can someone retake
the photos, and get clear crisp ones?
200k or 300k photos, are normally MUCH clearer
than these.
If I have to build the K3, using identification
with some of these fuzzy photos - perhaps I'd
better buy the finished K3 instead of the
kit I ordered.
If the K3 Manual goes to 30meg, that is not
a problem for many of us. And the rest, can
buy a HIGH RESOLUTION PHOTOS version, from
Elecraft, or sign up for roadrunner cable.
If you're running AOL or Earthlink - you
shouldn't even be trying to read the
manual.
