Yes, I agree when you add it up the price isn't really that much more. I should have left the "large" out of "large increase in price". Though, psychologically, it does seem at first glance to be a large increase until you take everything into consideration. I am sure the hardware design changes more than make up for the differential in price. It would be nice to hear about them - in general, not asking for schematics or a detailed dissertation, etc... :-). 73 Phil N8VB _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
