[Elecraft] Just RX'd KX3 Serial No. 10,028!

[Arnie Grubbs]

Yep, the K3S did start at 10K, I think they jumped about 1000 units to start with the new MSD, AND like the subject says, the KX3 is at 10k+ units, but I don't think they skipped any numbers, I could be wrong though, but itlooks to be the highest produced radio of the Elecraft line!

That is correct Mark. K3S serial numbers started at 10000 to avoid confusion
with the K3.

I'm just guessing, but the K3S probably started at 10K (or some value above
~ 8K) to avoid any confusion with the existing K3.
