I wrote them an e-mail asking how they were going to delay
the RF channel to equal the delay in the post-modulator lowpass 
and got a reply which didn't answer the question at all.   I don't think
they understood my question.

I later found out they "did it" by having an unusually high switching
frequency in the 250 or so kHz range which allowed a wider bandwidth
on the post-mod lowpass.  In other words, they did not delay the RF 
channel at all.

I also heard there were problems in getting it to work.

It seems to have died a natural death.  I had my reservations
too!  If it's too good to be true . . .
