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

[Walter Underwood]

We know that the K3 sold nearly 10,000, so add in the K3S sales, and that is more than the KX3.

ICOM sure sold a lot of the IC-706 series. I would not be surprised to see that at the top of the list.

If we are talking rigs made specifically for amateurs, the Collins S-line might not qualify. If we are talking all HF, it is probably some marine or aircraft HF box.
