I think they’ve already said once that serial numbers depend on how it was 
ordered as well as when.

  Hi Wayne
I double checked (I have been known to make mistakes) I did indeed placed 
my order on May 7th 2018  I did receive my KPA1500 on July 13 (could have been 
July 11th but I was out of town) and the serial number is #328
 Unfortunately I can shed no light on how Elecraft assigns  Serial numbers

[Elecraft] Serial Number

2018-07-17 Thread Wayne Houser
Must be a quirk in the serial number chain of
command.
Friend of mine took delivery on his KPA 1500 a month ago and his serial
number was 291.A guy on the reflector ordered his amp on May 7th and
his serial number was something like 330 or 331. I ordered mine on May 8th
and got serial number 282. Wonder how that happened???

Re: [Elecraft] Serial Number Check for Elecraft gear

2015-05-18 Thread EricJ
I don't know the details in this particular case. I googled KX3 stolen 
and got two hits. One was stolen at Dayton...no doubt a target rich 
collection of rigs to steal what with half the cars bristling with 
antennas. The other was stolen in 2014, locked in the trunk of a car at 
night with a radio pack full of equipment, several handguns and shooting 
accessories.


I won't speculate on the details, but I'll offer two examples of my own. 
My pickup was broken into. The thieves took a 15 year old scratched up 
KMart AM/FM/CD, and a roll of paper towels from behind the seat. I was 
parked during the week in the unguarded, unoccupied parking lot (except 
for my truck) of a local wilderness park. I was gone hiking for 2-3 
hours. I have to accept some responsibility for the loss of that POS 
radio and half roll of towels. The real loss for me was the broken door 
lock. $85 and it can be punched out again any time in seconds 
unobtrusively and almost noiselessly.


Same truck. My tailgate was stolen late evening in my driveway with 
bright motion detector lights functioning. Basically, I provided 
adequate lighting at their job site. I have the bottom of the line F150. 
Stick shift, rubber mats. And no factory tailgate lock. Two guys can 
take a tailgate in about 3 minutes or less. If it has a lock, I'd give 
them 5 minutes.


Lesson 1:  They will steal anything. There is little risk and if they 
get $5, they at least covered their gas expense.


Lesson 2:  Your vehicle, I don't care what make or model, is NOT secure. 
A locked trunk full of radios and guns is not really locked. Your 
stuff is just out of sight. Police cars are broken into or stolen.


Lesson 3: Your level of security should be in proportion to the value of 
the items on offer to thieves. There's a saying, Never gamble more 
than you are willing to lose.


Lesson 4: You are being watched. Thieves have a lot of the same high 
tech stuff you have (they probably stole it though). They watch you 
punching in PINs. They watch you loading your handguns into the trunk 
when you leave the range. They watch you lock your radio in your trunk. 
They watch you remove your antenna when you park somewhere.


Given just those few lessons (and there are so many more), it isn't that 
difficult to assign some responsibility to the victim.


I hope it isn't too unsettling for us to discover there are bad people 
out there willing to do bad things.


The discussion has already taken more list time than it should so any 
comments, please email me.

[Elecraft] Serial Number Update Status

2014-02-28 Thread Richard Solomon
Is it possible to tell from the Serial Number when the unit was 
manufactured

and if there were any upgrades or mods made after that S/N ?

If one is looking at buying a used K3 or KPA500 then that info would be
helpful in determining a price.

Re: [Elecraft] Serial Number Update Status

2014-02-28 Thread Don Wilhelm

I can also add backup to that as well - I have K3 SN 20 fully upgraded.
It may not be relevant to the initial question, but the same thing 
applies to the K2 - yes, there was a borad change at SN 3000, but 
upgrade kits were available at modest cost to bring the older board up 
to the same level except for minor and inconsequential differences.  The 
K2 upgrades continued through about SN 4660 and after that no further 
upgrades were made.  The result is that even the lowest K2 serial number 
can perform just like a brand new K2 thanks to the way Elecraft has 
handled upgrades.  If you would like to compare my SN 20 K2 against a 
brand new K2, just come over to my workbench - I can show you that the 
performance is equal.


No model number changes that require you to purchase a new transceiver 
to get the benefits of the change - just get the upgrade kit and install 
it and you have a new and improved transceiver.

It is just the way Elecraft does business.

If one is looking at buying a used K3 or KPA500 then that info would be
helpful in determining a price.

Re: [Elecraft] Serial Number Update Status

2014-02-28 Thread Gary Smith
FWIW,

When I was choosing which rig to get, to upgrade from my TenTec Omni 
V, I wanted a radio that was going to be on the top of its game as 
long as there were parts available for it. I considered all the rigs 
available at the time and it was a close draw between the Orion  the 
K3. I eliminated the Asian rigs because of the extremely high cost 
and because there were problems that were seemingly eternal that the 
only fix was a new model and retiring the old one.

The Orion was and still is a really fine radio but there were a lack 
of updates to the software that for whatever reason, left their 
owners complaining and the solution never being made available. At 
the same time the K3 was seeing updates seemingly every month if not 
sooner and it was obvious Elecraft was trying to resolve every valid 
issue that it could. 

The Orion ran into issues with end of life components that could not 
be obtained and an Orion II was released. I'd decided to go with 
Elecraft, another US company and I felt badly not going with TenTec 
but to my impression, Elecraft was delivering and TenTec was not.

As it is today, I made the right choice; The Orion is no longer in 
production (which is a shame because it was a really nice radio) and 
the K3 is in production and Elecraft will make all of them as-new for 
a modest investment. No way I could afford to buy a new rig every 
couple of years but in the K3 I have a rig I am familiar with and it 
is newer and improved, just like buying a new  upgraded radio but 
one I don't have to learn about or the location/functions of buttons 
anew as a new rig would demand.

Would I like a newer serial #? Absolutely but only from the 
standpoint that people equate a higher serial with a better radio. 
With this upgraded/updated K3, it is exactly the same as a new one. 
When Elecraft comes up with a new update/upgrade, I'll be right there 
to buy that and keep my rig brand new. What other manufacturer does 
that other than Elecraft? 

They have my business from now on.

At one time a lot of fellows tried to work all the serial numbers for a

I put my s/n's on the list back then because several people asked for them.

Re: [Elecraft] Serial Number Data Base

2013-06-15 Thread Mark Petiford
Ron,

As always, thank you for your down to earth response.  That was the type of 
answer I was looking for.

By ...work all the serial numbers... I assume you mean learn who owns them 
and/or where they are located, etc.  I know some folks are as interested in 
radio serial numbers as I am in what makes it tick.  It is all a part of the 
depth of this hobby.  Since most of my equipment is homebrew, built from some 
type of kit, or in the boat anchor category, very little of my equipment is 
serialized.  I understand why a manufacturer serializes his products, but I 
have been a bit surprise at the serial number pride that I have seen.  
Surprised, but not upset.

Obviously, I do not buy a lot of new equipment.  In the case of the KX3, they 
took most everything I wanted in a radio and packaged it into a very nice 
package, so I had to buy one!  Sorry that I didn't make it clear that I was 
just wondering why someone would go register their radio serial number in a 
third party database.

Now, I wonder if zerobeat would be interested in creating a category for my 
homebrew Whaddon Mark VII Paraset replicas...probably not.

Re: [Elecraft] Serial Number Data Base

2013-06-15 Thread Don Wilhelm

Gary and all,

I would like to point out - the serial number list that is being 
referred to is NOT an Elecraft list.
Elecraft can dig up the record of the original buyer, but does not 
maintain a list of who now owns what.


You may also note that there are various reasons that I have not 
submitted the serial numbers of my K2, K3 nor KX3 to that list, and I do 
not consider myself an appliance operator.  I am however, a proud owner.

have died as a pastime since Elecraft began selling so many radios, 
meant work every serial number literally.



I
understand why a manufacturer serializes his products, but I have
been a bit surprise at the serial number pride that I have seen.
Surprised, but not upset.


A major point may be being missed.  Early on at least, having a list of 
S/N's and their owners/contact info allowed one to find someone with a 
close S/N and discuss anomalies.  The Elecraft products did change over 
time, especially after initial production.  For every one I have [KX1, 
K2, K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500, W1], those changes diminish with time, and 
lately have been diminishing rapidly.  Likely the S/N database isn't as 
valuable now as it used to be.

[Elecraft] Serial Number Data Base

2013-06-14 Thread Kenneth A Christiansen
Hi from Ken W0CZ

I remember entering my serial number in a data base when I built me K2 and 
later my K3. I can't seem to find that location to enter the serial number for 
my KX3. Was this data base discontinued? Does anyone know the way to get to it 
if it is still in use?

Thanks

I own K3 #281 (bought it second-hand), but don't see it listed in the DB.
How do I apply for/request an account so I can list that transceiver's info?

Thank you.

[Elecraft] Serial Number 133

2007-12-21 Thread Keith Bainbridge
Last night at 11.50 my youngest daughter left for England and the family 
was sad, but .. 29 minutes later my new baby arrived in Perth !! so 
all was joyous.
It was ordered in the early hours of 29th April and was delivered approx 
8 months and 23 days later, a perfect gestation period.
I picked it up this morniong and can report father and bub doing well 
getting to know each other !
Serial number is 133 and its a fully assembled, 100watt , complete with 
ATU bouncing bundle of health.

Just need to get the settings right on the mic and will be on air tonight.
It was supposed to be a birthday present in July but turned out to be a 
great Xmas pressie instead.
Thanks to Lisa for her patience with my persistant enquiries and to the 
Elecraft team for such a fine radio... and isnt the receiver quiet !!

73 from Perth Western Australia and a very happy Xmas to all.

more important than your project?.  Yup.  I'll need the next couple of 
days off...
