I've received the 5 units from EDMO.



I drilled the rivets out of one and produced the following

pictures:

The construction is pretty much as expected. The patina on

the surface of the closed-circuit jack does not suggest

any special plating.



The radio-to-adapter cable is nicely built.



These are nicely built and certainly as good as anything

one could build using this technology. I have more orders

than I have devices to ship. I'll fill the first five

orders received.



I'm going to think about this one a bit . . . might toss

the idea out to the Tacos-at-Connie's crowd. We've not

had lunch together for several months. It's about time.



I'll ask all the folks who have offered to pick these

things up give us feedback on their experience. If they

prove to be troublesome (and assuming the T(at)C meeting

produces a "better idea") the alternative device will

be used as a warranty backup to the ICOM product.

Bob, hand some of them out to ham operators who are VHF experimenters 

and ask for their evaluation.
