Reward for P3 S/N 56

I just got the call from Madelyn that my P3 (kit) will be shipped
tomorrow (Tuesday) and will have a S/N in the 60+ range.

If one of you gets # 56 (kit or built) that was shipped today (Monday)
I'd -really- like to hear from you on the chance that we can make a swap.

It would be to your advantage, of course.

Some of us are quirky, aren't we .... (;-)

73! Ken Kopp - K0PP

Re: Reward for P3 S/N 56

Since I have K3 # 3727 I think I'll pass on trying to get the matching P3 SN!

BTW, Congrats Ken,

There could be a black market in fake Elecraft serial number stickers.

I shouldn't reveal this, but they are easy to make. I have a little Brother P-Touch label
maker, and it does an excellent job -- almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

My K3 is so old (serial no. 00007) that it came with an old version of the rear panel.
Elecraft decided that they wanted everyone to have the newer one, so I got a replacement.

But it didn't have a serial number, and taking the old one off destroyed it! The
labelmaker saved the day.

Re: Reward for P3 S/N 56

AHHH Vic,

You shouldn't have. Now there will be a real mountain of KX1, K1, K2,
K3 and P3s out there with falsified serial numbers, and we can't tell
the difference. I guess we still need to engrave our call onto each and
every board in the assembly :-) .

This should move to a new thread labeled "K? identity theft" - there are
probably insurance companies that will provide tracking of that for a
fee. Starting my own business -- I will track your Elecraft serial
numbers for $10 per month and provide you with an annual report of any
discovered attempts to duplicate your serial number :-) .

Re: Reward for P3 S/N 56

Don't forget the million dollar guarantee .
And you will have to drive around with your own serial numbers
displayed in large numbers on top of a very big trailer :-) .

Bill,

I would do about the same as the ARRL lifetime membership - based on 20
years at the current subscription rate - payable in 4 installments
within the first year. So that is $2400, or 4 quarterly payments of
$600. Registration of your serial numbers will occur with the first
payment :-) .
My address is good at QRZ.com - send your checks to that address.

73,
Don W3FPR
