What Ron did not tell you was that shipping and handling are a real killer. Shipping is $28,492.76, excluding the $46,997.33333 repeating currency conversion fee. You see, there exists a small problem in that the Zelaronites have trouble with US currency, a bit beyond the usual international currency exchange problems. It’s a matter of, well, latter conversion, for one thing. Anyway, no time for that now. The point is, I well understand the difficulty Ron had in obtaining this fine piece of technology. What I really want to know, however, is if Ron managed to get the optional perpetual power pack and SuperShrink antenna. You know, that’s the antenna that covers all bands with perfect match, 28 dB gain in whichever direction you choose, and just the size of a quarter. I would really like to know if these options really work as advertised. 

Vy 73,
