I am not an insider, so I don't know but I get the impression that when they sell an assembled K3 they first assemble a kit and then have one of their techs build and test it. If they assign the serial number when they assemble the kit this would throw the assembled units a few weeks later than the kit units with adjacent serial numbers. This may not be correct, but it sounds plausible. I have seen references to a particular radio being built by a particular technician.
