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.
