Re: K3S - Ordered Today!!

Are you looking for 007 or what? Perhaps 7373?

What would a cool number be?

Well, I knew I was a big gun when I got my first K3 - a pair of 45's... ;-)

Re: K3S - Ordered Today!!

In reply to this post by Phil Anderson

That's a good question, regardless I'm ecstatic. After getting my hands on
on the K3S and seeing the P3 my only regrets are not having the cash to get
it all on the first pass J. I guess my thoughts were something interesting
on serial number, both 007 and 7373 are cool J .

On another note I have a request in to Rose for a cover. Originally I only
wanted to order the K3S cover and was considering getting the P3 and P3
cover later. After Shelby I'm seriously thinking to get the single cover
that extends over both units as I'm now convinced that I'll be getting the
P3 J . Seeing the P3 in print and/or video doesn't do it justice. Seeing in
person makes a huge impact. You see it do things that you won't be able to
do with an SDR.

Re: K3S - Ordered Today!!

Jer, ae4pb.....

Cool. I purchased my batch of stuff in stages too. Got the K3 in Nov of
2014 and then added the P3 (with SVGA interface for flat screen) along
with second RX (SUB RX) couple of months later. It's all working great.
Oh.....I added the AUX addition so that I could run diversity from a
Beverage on the second receiver SUBR; and, I'm usually using the APF
(audio peaking filter) with that. Use of the Beverage on 20-meters with
the above has dropped my noise floor more than 12 dBM! The combo has
really been helpful since I live just two blocks from a noise-generating
shopping center.

Don't think we can attach pictures here but I posted a picture of my
current setup on my QRZ profile page. It shows a second flat screen for
the computer side of things. Having fun drilling on the CWT weeklies
sessions, using N3FJP's CWT logger.

73 and enjoy those new toys! Phil, W0XI.

Re: K3S - Ordered Today!!

In reply to this post by George Dubovsky

Given K3S serial numbers are five digits, I wonder
what qualifies as "cool". Maybe 11011?

Re: K3S - Ordered Today!!

Nice! That would be binary for 23. :-)

Nothing special about my s/n - 10276.
I'm too lazy at the moment to calculate what that is in octal.

Re: K3S - Ordered Today!!

One of the nice things about Elecraft radios is that — except for personal bragging rights, etc. — the serial number doesn’t matter :)

Re: K3S - Ordered Today!!

When I got my K3, the spot in the backlog brought me to less than 10 away
from having the same number on my K3 as my K2. I called up and asked if I
could have it. So both K2 and K3 are #1239. Means absolutely nothing but it
seemed cute at the time.

I bought my K2 used. It was the older board and had just about nothing in
the way of options. I did ALL the A board to B board modifications and
filled it up with options. The difference before and after, particularly
with the DSP added, was rather astounding. I've done the CQ160 CW QRP with
it since and it was fine.

I kept it at 10 watts with the battery in it. It is an excellent portable
rig with the 10 W antenna tuner in it. I also have the 100 watt amp and
antenna tuner in an EC2 for base station use in SO2R with my K3.

73, Guy K2AV.

Perhaps they should put serial numbers in hexadecimal format :)
Then we could have numbers (names) like. Example, your no could be BEEF
