Now there will be a real mountain of KX1, K1, K2, K3 and P3s out there with falsified serial numbers, and we can't tell the difference. I guess we still need to engrave our call onto each and every board in the assembly :-) . This should move to a new thread labeled "K? identity theft" - there are probably insurance companies that will provide tracking of that for a fee. Starting my own business -- I will track your Elecraft serial numbers for $10 per month and provide you with an annual report of any discovered attempts to duplicate your serial number :-) . 73, Don W3FPR Vic K2VCO wrote: > On 8/2/2010 4:59 PM, George A.
