Hey Guys, Yeah, I've been in and out of the hospital a lot the past several months and haven't been spending any time on Club100 (or several other things). I'm WAY behind on even getting to email.
NADSBox is basically not being sold any more. I have maybe 13 enclosures left and a handful of PCBs, but each of them has slight issues from where the China manufacturer had some yield issues. It would take me about 5-6 hours minimum each to get those PCBs in a workable state (assuming I could even get them working). Because of this and the fact that leaning over a lab bench worsens my angina pain, it isn't likely I would be able to get more NADSBoxes out anytime in the near future. I am thinking about a couple of different replacement devices, though getting them development poses similar issues as the NADSBox.
