MOTM

I am beginning to look at the '480/CA3280 issues this evening. I'll post 
what I figure out. Shane the tech is due back next week, he will be working 
on assembled '440 modules. I have a few others that I will be woking on.

Note: newer MOTM-650s will have a replacement LCD module as the one I have 
been using is now super-expensive in quantities < 100. The differences are 
the color of the backlight, other than that it's pin-for-pin.

By the end of the month all "spoken for" kits will ship out, and any 
left-overs I will place in the cart. I'll give a 1-day heads-up announcement 
first. Since these sold fairly briskly I might make more up on a 'running' 
basis (not say 20 of every one all at once, more like 10 of this and 6 of 
that). I depends on my available bandwidth in the weeks and months ahead. 
Some kits like the '800, '390 and '830 are not that bad to put together. 
Others like the '320 and '440 are nightmares.

I plan to be at Winter NAMM in Jan 2011, mark your calanders. No, I can't 
get badges to get in, even I am a guest. I used to be a member when I had my 
own booth. That was when I still had stock options at Maxim worth $88 :(
