My previous comments in this thread have generally been shown inaccurate (except the unprovable and unserious FDIM prediction). However, I'll hazard another wild guess:
I don't think there are enough QMX owners out there to crash the qrp-labs webhost. AND... I wonder if even half of QMX owners will update the firmware the very day it is released. For sure there'll be a lot of excited people when SSB is released. But "a lot" as a proportion of QMX owners is still... not many! (Also, the firmware file is not huge; Bittorrent really shines with large downloads.)
On the other hand, I think a new market will open for customers who use SSB primarily and want a tidy and economical package for S/POTA. The building/fulfillment crews in Turkey might experience a mid-year Christmas rush!
I guess my sincere hope and wish is that Hans will profit enough to make all the support hassles worthwhile AND to give him some breathing space for whatever his next project will be. Because you know he has ideas cooking. And the group gathered on this forum seems to enjoy the way he thinks!
Also, we know he already has a wishlist of other firmware features.
