Re: [Elecraft] K3 serial numbers
Doug, thanks and I am working on the same theory. I have a particular figure in my mind (not for discussion) for the 1st Prodn Run volume which seems to be tracking reasonably accurately so far and which is why I was trying to find some of the serial numbers that may have already been released. I am in that run with 50% deposit paid so reckon I can guess my serial number to within about 20 or so depending on, as you say, the number of 1st run orders without deposits. Obviously the wx situation in W6 land is going to affect the shipping rates from now. I know you are a contester of renown, so will be with me on the importance of planning. Having already had several plans blown away due to lack of shipment over the last 6 months I just want to be sure I get the next ones right. Guess I had better email my friends and see if I can suitably disrupt their weekend! 73 Chris G3SJJ DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL wrote: Chris, et al: Before you get too locked into a plan, remember that the orders being shipped from Prod Run #1 (so far) are for those "with deposits." One could reasonably infer that after those "with" deposits are shipped, they will circle back to those w/o deposits, but still within Prod Run #1 (based on date of order). If that is the case, they will be restarting with orders placed at Visalia w/o deposit (if any). I am guessing that many of the apparently unaccounted for serial numbers on the Wiki are those held by Prod Run #1 buyers who did NOT include a deposit. PLEASE be sure to note my use of the word GUESSING. I do know for sure of some Prod Run #1 buyers who did not include a deposit who have yet to be notified of shipment for their order placed on date X while those who ordered WITH deposit on date X+Y (Y being a positive integer) have heard from Elecraft with respect to a ship date (in the very near future). I sure hope you are correct, but I would not be surprised if your projected time table is a bit too optimistic. de Doug KR2Q ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3 Serial numbers
Looking for some clues on serial numbers. Last noted one is 178, yet K3 Wiki says first 200 units have been produced but doesn't say shipped. I am planning some contests over the next two months which will involve my K3. According to the latest info, orders received up to 9th May will be shipped by end of next week, so I am thinking that 10-14th May orders will be shipped by week ending 18 Jan. That would be perfect as my 14th May should be with me by 25th and up and running, hopefully, to slot in my SO2R system for weekend of 1/2/3 May. I sold my K2 back in June last year in anticipation of K3 delivery in July and now just have the FT1kMP so no SO2R capability. There is no great panic but without the K3 I would probably ask the owner of a big contest station, so obviously the sooner I can advise him to see if his domestic arrangements will allow this the better. Again early March sees another contest where SO2R is ideal. The rate is painfully low, about 10 an hour for us in the UK, but mults are vital so searching other bands becomes key to building a good score. If shipping has gone out again it may even benefit me as I am consider visiting states in mid-March, in which case I could have the K3 delivered to me there by some unsuspecting N0 or N6 (!!), and maybe I could even partially assembly it so i don't bring the bog box back. VAT saved would pay most of my air fare! Not looking to antagonise the Stars and Stripes waving guys but I am trying to do some realistic planning and tracking serial numbers is helpful.

[Elecraft] RE: Elecraft K3 - Serial Numbers
Here's my story: 1.) April 28 - Ordered the K3 (kit, 50% down) at the opening bell on Saturday morning. (I ogled the K3 on Friday afternoon / evening, but thought I should "sleep on it" for a few hours.) 2.) November 5 - My credit card was debited, very early in the morning, for the invoice balance. - Late afternoon I received a shipping notice and UPS tracking number via email. - An hour or so later I received the "This is to inform you that your recent order has been shipped. . ." email from Elecraft. 3.) November 6 - According to the tracking scans the coveted white box arrived in Fresno at 6:52 A, and was "Out for delivery" at 8:22 A. - At 3:17 P the UPS delivery guy nearly scared me spitless by pounding on the laundry door right next to my shack! I had left the overhead garage door open so he would know I was home, but wasn't expecting him to bring it inside the garage! - Began unpacking at 3:21 P. - Dug down into the box that contained the small manila envelope labeled, "SN tag enclosed." Well I'll be et fer a tater!! Would you look at the grin on that ole boy! SERIAL NUMBER 00034!!! - Completely unpacked the box and ID-ed all the major stuff. - 4:35 P, began assembly. - Needed a break from the excitement, so took the cats for a short walk, began cooking dinner for my hard-working XYL, and then went back for a second look at the precious pile! - 6:15 P, famished wife arrived, served made-from-scratch sweet 'n sour pork. - 7:00 P, back to assembly. - 9:15 P, arrived at the point of initial power up. All resistance checks A-OK. Since I don't have a single PP connecter in the house -- other than the set in the kit -- I decided to call it a day. - 9:25 P, Picking up the sweet little K3 by the left side carrying handle, I proudly showed it to my darling wife. She looked at it and said, "Is THAT $3000 worth? Darn! And I just made her sweet 'n sour pork!! On a more serious note, tomorrow I'll forward a few of my observations / reactions to the K3 kit building process, and give a progress update. 73, Jim - WS6X Oh yes, thanks, Elecraft, for a very well-crafted product. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I assume the K3 will have serial numbers like the other Elecraft rigs. I am wondering if the numbers will be different for factory build v. kit build? Anyone heard?
