Please keep us posted. I'd buy one. I'm on my second rebuilt one. Running strong but it seems like its only a matter of time till it goes out again...

Regarding weather proofing. the board is going to be coated with a water resistant coating and the modern electronics are much better than the ones from the 19080s.

It will also be sitting inside a box. So the chance of water damage is slim.

The design is almost finished. Enjoy.

Wow, ok I'm 100% IN!!!

[DanHoug]

wow. have you determined a price point yet? that really shouldn't be released until all the i's are dotted! good job with the development thus far.

We sent out request for prototype quotes. Hoping to have some back next week then we can build an actual prototype and start testing and adjusting it.

Oh nice, you're hoping to beat the rebuilt price. That would make it a no brainer.

I'm in, please let me know when you are ready to take orders and ship !!!

[zoti]

Just an update. We ordered 10 units for testing. We are still waiting on them. As you know, everything is super slow right now.

Once we have them in hand and start testing, I will post more updates.

[Aryana]

Fantastic. I'm driving around with no ICU and won't replace it until you're done.

[zoti]

Just got word that the prototypes should be here next week.

Just a guess... I bet the solder-mask will be purple.

What conformal coat are you going to use? ...

There is a great shop in Austin to get all your FCC testing done, if and when you ever decide to go wireless. Since it is consumer based, albeit automotive, it's not as inten$ive as avionics. If recall correctly they're called "Professional Testing EMI" It used to be IBM's test facility, heck it's attached to IBM's building. I was "voluntold" that i got the pleasure of going there in late July when we did our FCC testing. Great people... just to FN hot for a PNW boy...

... now back to your regularly scheduled program
