no one seems to know, other then that LDG has said they're not producing
them anymore.
Although, I thought someone had said they will stop production sometime in
the late summer early fall of this year...so there may be another batch
before it's all over.
But, perhaps that is when they expect store stocks will run out or
something.
Also, they probably didn't get the market response they were hoping for, and
can't afford to continue production on these particular devices.  That said,
they may come out with another device late this year or early next year that
has more features to appeal to a bigger market.
Probably something with at least a digital readout on it...most hams, unless
they're totally blind, aren't going to buy a meter that doesn't even have a
readout on it, no matter how good the verbal accessibility is.
They should also implement a USB or serial  port connection to put
measurement data out to a computer or even a S-vidio out or VGA output would
be great.
