Re: [Elecraft] A hat was saved (totally apropos of nothing)
I have two. I purchased the 1st one when I ordered upgrade items for a K3. The 2nd one (AFAICR) came free with the K3S. I sold the K3, but the hat didn’t go with it! 😀 I still have the K3S and I wore the one of the hats today for a hospital appointment, as the WX was slightly cold today. 73, Alan - G4GNX > On 29 Mar 2022, at 18:02, Mike Flowers wrote: > > Some years ago, Elecraft offered some hats on their website.

Re: [Elecraft] A hat was saved (totally apropos of nothing)
Some years ago, Elecraft offered some hats on their website. Part number was KHAT, of course. I bought mine then.

Re: [Elecraft] A hat was saved (totally apropos of nothing)
Don't feel too bad, Bob, you're not the only one. I bought my K3 in autumn 2010 and have optioned it up over the years, the last big upgrade being the second receiver in late 2017. I ordered everything with the expectation that I would receive what I had ordered and I did, nothing more, nothing less, except that I was pleased that the filters I received for the second receiver were matched very close to the filters I had originally ordered for the K3. Kudos to the staff for maintaining that database even though over seven years had elapsed. The filters are close enough that I have no issues with diversity receive. A friend was at Dayton some years back (I was last there in '06) and gave me a K3 button he picked up. That is the only "swag" I have from Elecraft. I have numerous Yaesu caps, a few Icom caps (I don't wear either brand), and a DX Engineering cap even though DXE has probably gotten less of my money over the years than Elecraft! It is what it is, as they say. 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."

Re: [Elecraft] A hat was saved (totally apropos of nothing)
Wow! At least you got a hat with your radio. I put down my $1500 deposit on a K4 at the 2019 Hamvention and waited almost 2 and a half years to finally receive the radio. My very first Elecraft purchase ever. When Madelyn emailed me to say the radio is ready to ship, I asked for at least a K4 lapel pin button, like the ones given away at that hamfest, or possibly a baseball cap to be thrown in with the shipment. The radio was shipped with nothing but exactly what I ordered. I guess I should be pleased with that, after the EXTREMELY LONG WAIT. Unfortunately, I was never made aware of any K4 lapel pins while at that hamfest, and it was never mentioned and I never saw anyone handing them out. I was kinda disappointed. I realize it was not all Elecraft's fault. So many issues came up during that wait period, but I also feel like the radio was announced and sold before it was truly ready for production. All that money and EXTENDED wait, and not even a "Sorry about the long wait... here's a little token of our appreciation" That would have been appreciated. Flame off.
