Call them and ask.
Basically, they have the h/w done and working (I think a rig even got used in
SS), but s/w (as usual) is taking longer. On the website
http://radio.tentec.com/Amateur/Transceivers/TT565 it says they anticipate
shipping in November 2005.
I told them I'd rather wait (even a long time) for the radio and have it work
well w/o bugs rather than become an alpha or beta tester. I think that's the
general view from the community here - "get it right".
I remember being taught "Patience is a Virtue".

p.s. That reference to Shakespeare's "Richard III" doesn't seem quite apropos
here. The Battle of Bosworth (1485) is where Henry, Earl of Richmond, killed
King Richard III and gained the English crown for the House of Tudor (becoming
Henry VII).
If you are a big fan of Richard III, you might want to join this society:

Perhaps a more apt metaphor is "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett
