Bill, I stand corrected. I have a K4D ordered in that I use diversity. When the superhet front end comes out it will be added.I well understand Covid problems. It is rampant in the EU as well. Still plans must be in place. Production thanks to much effort is running. It is not unreasonable for a customer for many years to ask questions.
