I've noticed that people almost never list a full serial number when posting something for sale. I'm curious why that is? Is there some bad thing a nefarious person could do if they knew the serial number?

It might be that the first few numbers kind of indicates the series or age
of the device. This seems common when selling many things. It probably isn't a secret. I don't know what someone could do with the serial number of a radio but who knows these days. That and your date of birth might get all your bank accounts hacked.

All,
The serial number of a transceiver offered for sale is an important parameter, and because the upgrade kits are offered by Elecraft, the state of those upgrades that have been installed is also important to the potential buyer. The rig's serial number for For Sale listings is important to those considering the purchase of a used K2. There was a change in the board layout to include the prior upgrades at serial number 3000. If a K2 less than SN 3000 is being offered for sale, the status of the A to B upgrades and associated mods is a point of great interest. The cost of the upgrade mod kits is about $160 (includes firmware), so that needs to be considered when contemplating the purchase of a used K2. With all that being said, I need to say that a fully upgraded K2 will perform just as well as a newly built K2. That goes for a used K3 as well, but the upgrades that have been done needs to be known. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/18/2016 4:56 PM, Alan Bloom wrote: > > On 12/18/2016 01:13 PM, Kevin - K4VD wrote: > >> I don't know what someone could do with the serial number of a radio but >> who knows these days.

If the rig has an unknown pedigree (passed through many flea market sales) omitting the last few digits helps prevent unpleasant knocks on the door from officers wishing to retrieve stolen property.
