[Elecraft] Posting serial numbers

[Ken Talbott]

If the rig has an unknown pedigree (passed through many flea market sales) omitting the last few digits helps prevent unpleasant knocks on the door from officers wishing to retrieve stolen property.

?It might be that the first few numbers kind of indicates the series or age of the device. This seems common when selling many things. It probably isn't a secret.

I don't know what someone could do with the serial number of a radio but who knows these days. That and your date of birth might get all your bank accounts hacked. (just kidding)
