> Regarding the 418: (the new 100w amp)
> We have two more tweaks to the firmware to make. The hardware is finished,
> and being released to production. We are ordering parts, and plan to be at
> least taking orders around mid May, if not shipping by then. We passed the
> testing for FCC, and are in the process of getting the paperwork through
> FCC. We had a lot of positive input on the 418 at Orlando Hamcation, so we

> to go 100watts occasionally.
