I'm looking for a manual for the BC-221 frequency meter. In
tracing this thru the BAMA site I reached a downloadable 1 meg file
which turned out to be just a high resolution image of the cover of the
manual. Is the useful information about the unit stored elsewhere under
a different filespec ??


What you discovered was not a high resolution image of the cover of the
manual, but rather a 38 page manual in djvu format. Do you have the
djvu plug-in installed in your browser? If so, the control panel just
above the "cover" will allow you to page through the manual. Hope this
helps.

Out of curiosity, why djvu instead of pdf?

Fair question.

BAMA is a voluntary, cooperative effort. If someone submits a bunch
of gif, jpg, png or other format, individual page images, I am happy
to put it into pdf format. However, if someone submits a manual in
djvu format, that is the way it goes onto the server.

A careful reading of the BAMA site will reveal that I am very unhappy
with djvu because of support issues and encourage those who contribute
manuals to use pdf or raw image files. Still, there are those who
prefer djvu because of the phenomenal compression that it is capable
of. If they send me a manual that fits the BAMA mission, I'm
certainly not going to refuse it because it is in djvu format.

BAMA continues to grow because folks are willing to go to the trouble
to scan and share their manuals. I'm not about to do anything to
discourage that! 8*)
