Just an update.. We are really trying. The FCC is doing it's best to run us out of business it seems . We passed all the tests set forth . The application for our Grants ( licenses to produce ) were submitted over 6 months ago . The FCC kept changing the rules. They just figured out how the are going to test again even though we passed all testing procedures they have outlined . We do not have the deep pockets others have . The FCC has now backed off some of their rules so our deep pocketed competitors can pass the new standards . They are now allowing user adjustable pods , so they can pass interference standards . They stated originally there would be no user adjustable controls and units must adjust to proper levels automatically. Ours do . No one else could make it work ! We all know 99% of end users will turn the amplifiers all the way up and not care what effects that has on others as long as they are connected. Me and my partner are out over 2 million at this point in R& D and testing . All our own money . But that is my problem. All I can ask is for people to be patient . The only bright side is no other units that have real power are not being approved for any manufacturer . I am sorry I have not been around more . I have kept a low profile as I just don't have any answers at this point . How much units will cost , when they will be available etc. It is totally out of our hands and in the FCC hands at this point .It just feels terrible playing by all the rules and getting screwed over by the powers that be.
Thanks

Thanks for the update Gord - we continue to wait. Best of luck with the ongoing battle with the Federal Government, unfortunately it's hard to win a game when someone keeps moving the goal line.
