"The VNWA 3E was about to get a glowing review in QST a few years ago, but the guy who sells the AIM products queered it by threatening a patent fight." Jim Brown
Lets set this record straight. Jan over at SDR kits is a friend, and I met with him in Germany as well as Dr. Baier. He and I agreed that the patent is possibly infringed in the USA that Bob Clunn developed and his SDR Kit business is not really wanting to get much bigger so doing any advertising in the USA or even the QST review was moot. He really doesn't want to infringe with his hobby business and counts USA sales as being very very small. So we agreed to be low key and not hurt each other or ourselves in business. These are nice people and I look forward to meeting them again in Germany this year. I have copied Jan at SDR Kits so he is aware of this exchange As an added perk to the Top Banders I would like to offer 10% discount on the AIM 4170 which should help in soothing any wrong impressions. Just call us and mention Top Band Reflector, offer good until March 15. -- Jay Terleski Array Solutions 214 954 7140 _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
