The K3S was announced at Dayton Hamvention 2015: https://www.cqdx.ru/ham/new-equipment/dayton-hamvention-2015-rumors-elecraft -k3s/
I know because our club got our K3 in March 2015 and then next month the K3S was announced. They started at serial number 10000 with the K3S (I am mostly sure of that SN start). Therefore 10096 would be 2015 (probably mid-year).

Other than that, folks here on the reflector telling you when they purchased their serial number and getting an approximate date from their responses. My K3S serial # 10629 was purchased in May 2013. Your serial number 10096 was one of the first K3Ss. When Elecraft started shipping the K3S they started with serial number 10000. Based on your serial number and mine and when I purchased 10629, my guess is that 10096 was probably sold in early 2012. Hope that helps. 73, Mark, WB9CIF ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
