AVAILABLE AGAIN!

Found the package of boards sitting on a neighbor's doorstep.? Hooray!? ?Managed to get the listing re-activated (eBay isn't that easy to figure out....but I got it).??

?I found I can mail either 1 or 2 in a first class envelope to anywhere that the United States Postal Service can mail -- now that I know what they charged me, I can sell in groups of 1 or 2 boards, and will endeavor to put $1 refund in any orders of 2.? ?

Again, the GERBERS are freely available so if you wish to take on this project for a club or group, you can simply order 10 boards for about $20 (including shipping) directly from yourself and save quite a bit of $$.? ?I'm just providing these onesies and twosies for the folks who cant/don't want to order pcbs themselves.? (e.g., if you order 4 boards, I'll ship as two envelopes of two boards each to make sure I stay on the good side of the USPS, as a non-machineable first class envelope of minimal thickness)

With all the fixes for the SPURS being developed and tested by Warren, Raj, and so many others....wow!? y'all are giving great ideas to the manufacturer and this product will become even better with all the suggestions y'all and Allison and others have been making.? ?The ham community will benefit from all the volunteer wisdom being donated.

Cheers,

?

Well, we have an unexpected setback.

The powers that be in my neighborhood concluded that our mailboxes were not uniform enough, so they spent our money and pulled up all of our existing mailboxes and put new ones in, .....without any house numbers. ? Things have to be done just so are they aren’t happy, so none of us have even touched the new $500 mailboxes.?

Not realizing that risk, I signed for DHL to deliver the $50 worth of printed circuit boards from?

China without a signature, since I was expecting to be at work....no way to sign for them.?

They were delivered all right, and even a day earlier than expected —but nobody knows where!!? About 230 this afternoon, somebody got the package (based on the tracking information).? I have emailed everyone in my homeowners association hoping someone found the package.....

If not, I guess I am out the $50 and will decide whether to re-order the order again.

Such. Is. Life. ?

One step forward, two steps back?

Hi folks....
25 new blank boards for the simple-minded right-sided relay board fix are supposed to arrive from China on Tuesday.? ?If so, I'll re-enable? the Ebay advertisement and up the "count" (a learning experience) on Wednesday.? ?Was able to mail out five boards on Friday before leaving on a camping trip.? ?Hope they arrive OK!!!? ?I figured out how to mark them as "shipped" and send a note to each purchaser through Ebay.? ?With all the SPUR FIXES now being discovered, things are really shaping up around this little transceiver to make it have much fewer spurious responses.? ?Delighted to see the group progress.? ?Each person proceeds at? their own pace, but the group moves forward huge amounts.
