Eric, Wayne: I am requesting that you (A) release the size of "production run 1" and also please tell us (B) how many K3s are still pending "without deposit" from run #1.
I know that initially you indicated that such information was a proprietary. However, at this point: 1. Everybody will know the prod run size once we see orders going out past the order date that you have already stated is the end of run #1. Will another month (I hope not more) of secrecy provide any additional or continued protection from whatever you viewed as somehow valuable to be kept as proprietary? 2. I am in Run #2 and I would like to get some idea (stress on "some") of when my radio (or all prod run #2 radios in the case of others who might share my thoughts) might be going out. I am not asking you for an estimate, but I (meaning me, myself) would like to make some basic assumptions (not entirely accurate) about when I might expect my radio. I can't speak for others, but from what I've seen posted, everybody is interested in every single scrap of information available to help ease the frustration from the very long and unexpected delays. My approach would be to take the number of ordered radios divided by the empirical data of past shipments (average) per week. 3. I am also in Run #3 (ordered my 2nd K3 on Nov 21), but I have little confidence in my ability to project the real ship date for that other than that the original estimate provided of "mid February" will clearly not be accurate.
