K3 Missing serial numbers

The last reflector posted K3 serial number was #31.
Serial number #25 was the latest reported before that.

For some reason the serial number page takes the
greatest interest (hits) of the entire wiki. Please
email me if you have K3 #26 through #30 or maybe there
are some later than #31.

Re: K3 Missing serial numbers

I guess 8 of them must be on their way to the VP6 Ducie Island packing
depot by now, as all gear is going to be shipped in November according
to the VP6 website.

Don't you believe it, Chris. The first production run of "special
edition" with gold-plated chassis and serial numbers up to 000200 were
to have been despatched by the end of July but that didn't happen. I
sincerely hope that Ducie Island will have to wait their turn like the
rest of us. When all said and done DX-peditions always get RST599
anyway, so it doesn't matter what rig they use ;-)

Re: K3 Missing serial numbers

Well you aren't far off David. My contact "on the inside" says they are
expecting them mid-December. I just got in at the end of the 1st prodn
run so just hoping I might get it in time for ARRL 10m Contest!

Re: K3 Missing serial numbers

I've got no particular place to go. Unlike most I guess, I'm not going contesting or chasing a dxpedition. When I get my K3, I'll just fire it up for a good cw ragchew on 40 meters, probably with someone in the next state. In the meantime, the ol' trusty K2 will keep me company :)

There is a lot of truth there. When you are sitting
in front of a radio - most any radio - with a pileup,
split or straight up, there isn't a whole lot of difference
between them.

I can tell you after 8 DXpeditions using the K2 and then going
to Scarborough Reef with IC7000s, there really is a difference.

Re: K3 Missing serial numbers

I built my K2 last year, and I am continuing to get to know it better,
and I am consistently impressed with its capabilities. Could you supply
a comparison and contrast of the K2 and the IC7000, or just other radios
in general?

Hi David,
I know little of the internals of any radio. It could be crystal filters
versus
DSP filters, single conversion versus n conversions. I like 500Hz filters
in pileups where the K2 gives clean signals and IC7000 gives not so clean.

Well, yeah, I should have included the IC-706 in there with the AR-2 &
3. Never been on any of the "biggies" like BS7, but we took a 706 to FP
and MD. I don't think that will happen again - and they say the 706 may
be better than the 7000.
Travel with the K2/100 ever since.
