Default Not just yet........Garret is waiting for FCC approval which should come this week (m)

The new IBE that will be out shortly has a MUCH better distance than the early ones. They wanted to wait until
1. They had it approved
2. You didn't need to be on top of your car to switch the programs
3. The "hesitation" problems w/ the X chip and the M box was resolved.

#2 and #3 are done, so its right around the corner. Talked to Mike at AWE earlier today. It's great, get it!

Default All consumer electronics must pass FCC guidlines before they are allowed resale...

... if you had an early PC or microwave then you will appreciate why these laws are in place.

I'm not that old but I used to go to FCC test facilites back in the R&D days and I saw some funky crazy **** that would've rendered your radio/tv reception void.
