Howard needs to get someone on this side of the pond building these Dongles also. I'm sure he could have someone over here sign the NDA and produce significantly cheaper than in Europe.
The offer of a Mexican shop sure seems logical. The exchange rate right now makes these about $175 US for Americans which is approaching pricey. It's hard enough to get a softrock. One minute to order is doing nothing but making him look bad at present. I wasn't even going to attempt it. I thought about writing a perl script to order for me.. but that's insane. I wonder how many got them that way... sigh...

I'm guessing that a key to having a reasonable supply is dependent on how the next 100 turn out--they are being assembled by a vendor, so Howard doesn't go blind and/or batty from making them all himself!! If you haven't been to the website to view the assembly video, you owe it to yourself to do so... Sorry you didn't get one... yet ;) It'll be worth the wait!! 73, Mark At 12:50 AM 1/3/2011 +0000, Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604 wrote: >The only problem with the FCB is that they're currently very close to >unobtainum.
