[Amps] AMPTEC LA4000

[George Hall]

Hi Larry and the group,

About two years ago I sent AMPTEC an email asking if the LA4000 was FCC type accepted and I promptly received back their reply "not yet".  Based on AMPTEC's lack of providing product information and instruction manuals in English sends a powerful message NOT to do business with them. Additionally, I would not be surprised to learn that the LA4000 still is not FCC type accepted.

IMO Larry, you made the correct decision by forgetting about Amptec and give your business to Jay at Array Solutions.

73, George. N2CG

The response was usually about 6-10 words in length. I asked about making a payment and never received a response. There was never any follow up email on their part.
