K3: doing the math

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Okay...I'm here at work...since 1:30am today and I am out of
steam...but I have another meeting in 30 minutes or so.  So I drifted
into Elecraft land as a diversion.

It seems that the highest SN who has gone public is #75 (but with lots
of other unaccounted for).  And we know that production run 1 was
supposed to include SN < 200 (or was it 220?).  And we know that the
first 20 were supposed to be Beta units.  So that means 200-75-20 = at
least 105 K3's to get out in the next two weeks (at least one day of
which is a holiday here in the States)..or at least before the Nov 30
date for production run #2 (or the week of...so add another day).
That would be about 10 a day (M-F).  Sounds not unreasonable.

That will represent quite a leap in production over the previous month.

Here's hoping that it happens.

To help prolong your Elecraft S/N math diversion, I have S/N 00017 which is
a production unit, not field test.

10 a day?
Hard to see how they could stay in business making 10 a day.

As long as I get my K3 sometime before the sunspots get back, I'll be happy...

I sincerely hope I don't have to wait *that* long! :)

[Leigh L. Klotz Jr WA5ZNU]

By the German Tank Theorem [http://tinyurl.com/2e94hb] using the data
from the zerobeat serial number list, there are probably about 80 K3's,
if you count the FT units as part of the sequence.

Oone of the assumptions of the GTT is violated: we know that there are
out-of-sequence numbers, both in the +/- small integer range due to the
front panel issue, and  because of a small number of vanity numbers, so
it could be +/- 5 assuming they keep the front panels in order in
batches of 5.

For the K3 or the sunspots to return ;  )

Al WA6VNN

PS SN 31 made a debut at the Santa Barbara ARC meeting  last night (SIG nite)
 and captured the audience with her little brother by  her side (K2 SN4887).
Interesting that W1AW on other side of continent was 599  at 0400Z on 7049
using a 20 ft piece of hookup wire as an ant, inside a  building!  100% copy
using txt decode. Hint: on txt decode, use narrowest  possible dsp passband, I was
using 50 Hz under a std 2.7Khz xtal filter.   So, Why wasn't there any other
activity on 40???   Come on folks, get  on the air!  73 Al
