[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for July 13th & 14th, 2008

[David King]

On July 3rd, Eric had posted the following reference serial numbers in a 
message titled "KRX-3":

We are shipping in two parallel groups: kit and built K3s. Since -F
built K3s are built to order, and because the kit and built versions are
built on different production lines, the s/n sequences will not be
exactly in sequence between the two groups getting KRX3s.
---

There are a lot more KRX3's backlogged for the kit version than for the
-F built version, since the initial orders strongly favored kits. We are
working through both of these groups in parallel (with different
production people) and as a result the -F serial numbers will appear to
jump forward faster than the kit versions.
