I understand, I have an electronics background too, just like I'd imagine anyone attracted to your fine product. I can see the time and passion you put into your product.
You could have come back and said "we are working on it" or "It is most of the way there, it just is not water resistant" or "We know someone who has a modification guide" I figured no harm in asking.... boy was I wrong. Unfortunately, this thread, and the other thread, have convinced me I have to pass on your excellent product. Makes me a very sad HAM.
