Re: [Elecraft] Removal of old callsign
It is the power on banner text. You can change it using K3 Utility. 73, Lyle KK7P Hello all, I picked up a used K3 sometime ago and every time I turn it on I see the old owner callsign. Is there any way to remove it? Or change it to mine? I have looked in the book... __ 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

You might want to check that the original owner did actually sell his if that was not whom you bought it from as most (or the trader in between) normally blank this before selling (or have in the models I have seen). Not the biggest security ever as can be changed easily by those that can run the utility but it can be checked with a qrz lookup. I am not sure if Elecraft might consider an owner's register, but i expect they might have an unofficial one looking at the orders for mine they have the serial number listed? as owners know every radio has a unique serial number. Importantly for the KX3 and K3 they are embedded in the s/w so that they cannot be changed easily if at all. 72 Dom M1KTA __ 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
