If you would like to purchase one of his antennas or the uSDX+ xcvr as part of this group buy, please reply to this post with the quantity and model of the item.? If you do not specify HAM or COMMERCIAL, I will assume you want a HAM tuned antenna.

Lastly, I'd like to close this group buy on March 31st and will place the order shortly afterwards.? That is 2 weeks from now.

Here is the list as of 3/30.? One more day before I close the group buy.??
?
Also, I have 2 pieces of information for those ordering the uSDX.? #1 - I emailed Ed Fong to let him know our order is imminent and he said that he doesn't have enough uSDX units on hand.? He said he will contact his source for more and they would be delivered separately from the antennas.? #2 - Robert KM6RSS bought a uSDX from Ed early and has been having difficulty getting it to sound acceptable on transmit (audio is distorted).?
?
Until Robert's unit is figured out and working okay, I will holding back the orders for the uSDX.? I just think it's risky at this point until we know more.
?
IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ANTENNA ORDER because of the uSDX situation, please let me know asap.
?
Thanks,
