OK, 
Looks like a go I am in for a set as well. 

Are we going to try o make a mass order, or order o our own? the 
deadline looms, so 
I'd think we just order our kits ourselves. 


I also plan to talk with the business partners, and might be able to 
get a better (TCXO, or just ore stable) clock. I'll post that later. 
unsure of its cost, or if it would be worth the effort.
