[time-nuts] 3586A HQ PDF Manual available -optimization-

[Chuck Harris]

You obviously haven't come across all of the Adobe acrobat OCR'd manuals
on logsa.  They are amazingly unusable.  The OCR program gets way off
kilter, and makes a mess of large sections of the manuals... and unfortunately,
nobody has the resources to proofread the results.

Don't waste your time on the Heathkit manual.  The license to reproduce the
manuals was bought up by some little ham company, and they are very inclined
to chase down any heathkit manuals on the internet, and serve the hosting site
with a take down notice.  The only thing you are "allowed" to put on the net is the
schematic.
