There are a number of new users on this reflector since the announcement of the K3S transceiver last summer. Please indulge me a bit of bandwidth to update the newcomers to a request made back then by Wayne.
During the initial announcement of the K3S, we all shared some laughs about how the new rig would be discussed here. Folks trying to emulate the logo font of the new radio were using a lower case "s" after the K3 (K3s) in discussions here. The result was a flurry of entertaining posts reflecting K3S, K3Ses, K3s, K3's, K3s' and the confusion it might create. Singular, plural, possessive....and it drew Wayne's attention. He commented that there had been discussions within Elecraft about the possible confusion caused by the logo font chosen for the rig. (Logos need to be *unique* in order to be trademarked, registered, etc.) It was all good-natured fun but we all understood that confusion could persist. Posters continued attempting to replicate the logo design of the K3S here on the reflector and could not do so. The reason was that the "S" in the stylized K3S logo is also a capital "S" but of a smaller size font. There is only one size capital "S" font available on this reflector, so Wayne jumped in and requested that members of the reflector refer to the new rig as the K3S, not K3s (K3 capital "S" *not* K3 lower case "s") in an effort to minimize confusion. Standardization of that nomenclature for the sake of clarity on this reflector would be a big help. Happy New Year! 73, Terry W0FM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
