How on earth did you come with these numbers? Did I miss something?

 From everything I've read (on various lists) I can find nothing to 
really support this. Obviously the first run was for about 200 rigs, but 
apart from this all other numbers do not seem to have any foundation.

Even on day one (Announcement Day), there was a bit of a conflict about 
how high the serial number for pre-payers could be: 200 or 220. Seeing 
as 20 Beta-Test rigs were mentioned, I can imagine that this caused a 
slight mix up. The first 200 actually sold might easily have the serial 
numbers 20 to 220.

I would guess, and this is off of the top of my head, that the initial 
run was planned to be higher than 200 (300?) and nonetheless had to be 
raised due to the response. As to the second run, I have no idea.

I would not be surprised if Elecraft has orders for 400 rigs and would 
be equally unsurprised if the number was 800 rigs. More than 1000 would 
be amazing.

I like Eric's answer best: It is proprietary, but its a lot
