AHHH Vic,

You shouldn't have.  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
