I mean no disrespect to anyone here. Jacksonlabs makes some very fine components. Brookes comment was spot on. What happens etc. I did run out to the site and take a quick read. The short piece I read did not have a lot of specifics or I simply missed them. It is low power and thats quite a plus, but has to also take into account how it behaves without GPS. Hopefully others will comment. So looking at the price I know that I have seen used Tbolts all over the place up to at least $350 or more. Same for the HPs and they have lots of miles on them. I suspect some comparison to those technologies would be helpful in appreciating whats being offered. Look at the fast turn around Said did. A time-nut says how about a discount and there you go a discount. Regards Paul WB8TSL
