[Elecraft] First Shipment Tally

[JIMMY D HARRIS]

Michael,

The following has been gleaned from several sources over the last few weeks.

The initial production run was upgraded from 200 to 220 and has been sold 
out several weeks ago.  That run is for July and August delivery.  The 
second run was also upgraded from 200 to 220 and has been sold out with 
deliveries in August and September.  I've not seen third production run 
numbers but would expect them to equal or exceed each of the earlier runs.  
Deliveries are said to be in September and October.  I've seen/heard 
information that indicates that run is going fast.  So an educated guess is 
they have sold well over 500 radios so far.

Looks like if you want a K3 for Christmas you should order soon.  Hopefully 
later production runs will be greater and Elecraft will catch up by the 
years end.  Due to long lead time on some custom parts a quick ramp up of 
numbers may go slow.

These numbers may be way off.  But, they are put togather from email on the 
reflector and talking with Elecraft personel at Dayton.
