Gents: I feel that the rumors are getting off track again.....
As I recall (which may not be perfect), but in the very beginning, it was posted that (paraphrasing), "If you place a 50% deposit, you can have a SN in the first 200." There was never any statement that 200 was the size of a production run, though lots of us inferred that. Later, again paraphrasing, the cheerful request for up front cash indicated that "A deposit will get you a low SN." I believe that it was officially stated that the size of production run #1 (and #2) were increased, but no absolute numbers were ever made public (it's their ball). For all we know, production run #1 is 100 radios...or 150, or 200 or maybe 220 or 250. There are no facts on this available to the general public (including me). I don't know/recall when submitted orders for Run #2 started, except that it was before Dayton, 2006. All we have to go on so far are the dates that the orders were placed. So for sure, orders placed at Dayton are run #2. Counts - who knows? Right now, I'll be content knowing that I"m somewhere in run #2 and I sure hope that I'll get my K3 before the December holidays. Having the last two weeks of the year off will give me lots of time to assemble and enjoy. But sooner is better! LOL So I agree (based on my own opinion only) that if the published shipping schedule is adhered to, that probably another 100 radios have to go out before "the week of November 30" ends. 20 a day (M-F) should do the trick. Add in a Saturday or two, and YMMV. de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
