[Elecraft] Elecraft Equipment Designator in Subject

Folks,

This comes up periodically [technical term meaning every now and then on 
a sort of regular basis].  Long threads on the list start and, if you 
have been away from home and the list for a bit, the "long" part is in 
the list of messages to read.

Generally standard practice on the list, since there are now so many 
Elecraft products has been to put the main product designator in the 
subject.  That means, if you are posting about a KX3 thing, put "KX3" 
somewhere in the subject -- doesn't really matter where.  Likewise if 
it's "PX3" ... and you probably get the idea here.  Many of us filter 
the email list by Elecraft product, so a couple of keystrokes will help 
a lot.

Subjects sometime change in a thread, this is a live list with real 
people, and that shouldn't surprise anyone.  If you change the subject, 
and it is no longer relevant to the original Elecraft product, please 
remove that designation.

I'm a math grad, engineer in life, and I almost failed Econ 101.  I 
don't understand business and commerce but I am astounded at the 
business model Elecraft has built, and this list is part of it.  We can 
all do our part to make it most usable for everyone.  Just tell us what 
you're going to talk about before you talk about it. :-)

73,
