And for the record, as you suggested above, in the US we don't need the license to buy ham gear, either, nor to listen to it. Only to key the transmitter. ApK Last edited by ApK; 08-12-2014 at 03:03 PM. |

If it was aggressively enforced*, that $85 (for 5 years, for a family) would keep the band usable. But, instead, they will likely just eliminate the fee, as proposed. ApK *By hams with directional antennas and billy clubs. We seriously need more organized vigilantism. I mean "self-regulation." |

Was supposed to ship in late September or early October of 2013, but I think everyone figured that was a pipe dream.
I'm still excited about it, but I must admit that my enthusiasm is starting to wane. I'm pretty much just waiting to have a box arrive at work out of the blue at this point. |

I'm wondering if I should get a refund, and then pay the extra for an Earl if I still want to buy one in a few years time (when they are finally available).
I'm starting to wonder if they have their software act together, seeing how they clearly don't have their hardware act together. And software is the key to making an eInk screen look good under Android. |
