Well, if they have not already put in an order,  which I really
doubt,  they will have to stand in line for at least the third
production run as I understand where things stand now on
deliveries.  It is usually a bunch of months,  if not a year
after a rig first ships that ARRL runs/publishes tests,  isn't
it.  I haven't really paid that much attention to their timing.
