Hi Richard,

If the email was from [hidden email] and was titled "Elecraft Special Package
Offers"  dated 11/14/2019, and had it pictures of the KX3 and KX2 with special
"Power Package" discount pricing, its from Elecraft and is legit.

The prices reflect loaded KX2s and KX3s with KXPA100 amp etc. We've been seeing
an increase in orders for the KX radios with KXPA100 amps lately, so we wanted
to promote those combinations to everyone.

It also had a discounted package of multiple Mini-module kits at the bottom.

You can also validate our marketing and newsletter emails by looking at the full
email headers (ctrl-u in Thunderbird email readers) and search for " X-Mailer:
MailChimp Mailer".  Mailchimp is the certified email service we use for direct
emails to customer groups.

73,
Eric

Yes (typo). [hidden email] is the correct address.
Thanks for the heads up!
