That is a great idea.  They produced the documentation so I'm sure they have
it in some sort of digital file other than PDF or in a PDF with embedded
text.

Hi Kent,
Tried that, same result. I had a chance to show the instruction pages to a
sighted friend who said that, even with good light, he could barely read
some of the material. I'm going to call Cushcraft tomorrow and suggest that
they resolve the situation. It's a shame to have such a good product and
such poor documentation.
Best,
Albert, WA7FXB
