Julian and All,
This kind of thing emphasizes the value of something I suggested previously.
I think the manual should be downloadable in Word, or some equivalent, and
then updated by just revising the individual pages. A revision page would
be designated by the page number plus an appropriate letter or decimal
follower, like "43.1" or "43.2", etc. You would only have to download the
overall manual once, and then just download revision pages. If you put the
manual in a loose leaf binder, revisions are easy to insert. This method is
used extensively in professional reference material. Manual updates can
also be indexed and dated (as should revision pages). If we are going to
have a radio that is continuously upgradeable, I think the manual should
similarly be "upgradeable" in some fashion like this. That way you don't
have to be constantly looking for "errata" sheets which might alter the
procedure you are looking for.
Just my humble opinion!

This is in the release notes, but easy to miss with all the other new
information!
Noted (and probably forgotten some time in the next 5 minutes, to my
eventual confusion) Hopefully it will be possible to order updates of the
user manual that reflect the latest state of the firmware at some point.
(Lacking the facilities to print one out to an equivalent standard.)
