Russ:



That is my point! Too many look at ham radio as "special" and "separate."



What I suggested was gov't, commercial and, yes, even CB in that suggestion.
I am just guessing, but you market to that wide a group and you are just
bound to sell a dozen--or two! grin



And, having the design so others can purchase rights (reasonably charged!)
to use "your case", then the innovation brought to the market by "the many
manufacturers" (and thousands of minds) gives your product real "SEX
APPEAL!"



Warmest regards,

John
