I think the idea that a deposit would get you a serial number in the first 200 is also just speculation. I don't recall seeing *any* statement about actual numbers from Elecraft, either of the size of production runs or number of orders taken. They could have taken fewer, or more than 200 deposits. All I recall is that paying a deposit booked you a place in the queue ahead of those who didn't, which seemed a no-brainer at the time as I imagined that every ham on the planet would want a K3 once they found out about it. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
