Voici le contenu du nouveau manuel du Elecraft KX3, qui soit dit en passant est plus complet et mieux fait que le manuel d'origine.-
Ce manuel est offert en version standard 8-1/2 X 11 ou plus petit pour le sac de transport, au même prix pour les deux. Et les deux manuels ont le même nombre de pages soit: 232 pages.-
[/img][/img][/img]
Ce manuel est un must. Il facilite grandement l'opération et configurations de l'appareil contrairement au manuel d'origine
dont le langage s'apparente plus à de l'informatique que d'un langage clair habituel des manuels d'instruction.
