Scott,

Using the K3 Utility on your pc use the 'configuration' tab.  Use 'edit
power on banner'.

Good luck

This is a great feature.

I placed my callsign and phone number on the bootup splash msg etc.

This is very useful if your beloved K3 gets stolen (prove ownership), lost or otherwise missing.

Except it's very easy to change if you know what you're doing :) Better to
rely on the serial number, while not impossible to change it's a lot harder.

For the purpose of proving ownership in case of theft, I have my name,
callsign and email address on Dymo strips a couple of places inside my KX3
and K3 (no details here,  be creative :). But I also have insurance, so if
the worst should happen I'd be covered.

Group - An idea used on my net book and lap top computers.  Any trophy
shop will have a computer controlled small engraving machine.  These are
able to scribe any message or logo onto metal or plastic as long as the
surface is flat.   Perfect for the inside panel of the K3.  Can't say
for the KX3 as my ordered unit hasn't arrived yet. ;-)

Hi Thomas:

Excellent idea.  And, it also brings up the point that if one sells  
an Elecraft product to someone else, it would be a proper gesture to  
notify Elecraft of the new owner's name and contact info, so that  
there is a record of the new ownership.  The second owner would be  
able to draw on that if the equipment happened to be stolen from him.

The K3 and KX3 contain a menu entry which holds the serial number, and
that cannot be changed.  Traceable to the original purchaser at Elecraft.

Yes, the power-on "splash" is easy to change with K3 Utility..
