example:

Serial No: 7 N 250 078

The 7 is year the radio was actually made = 1997
The N is month made starting with January as C, = December
The 250 is batch number = Batch 25
The 078 is serial number in that batch = 78

I recently picked up a '1000D and am interested in its age. I know this
rig
was manufactured for about a decade. The S/N is "2E220171". Anyone with a
'1000D that might have some insight?

Thanks.
