LVB Tracker - Good/Bad news

The good news is we were able to ship the last 10 of a 20 unit build a week or so ago. The bad news came from an email from Martha at the. AMSAT office that there were 11 unfilled orders. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I'M OUT OF PARTS!!! Displays, button assemblies, display cables, pics, buttons, din cables, USB modules, crystals, pots, ic sockets, 7805's and just 11 pcb' s left go figure.

Today ordered parts for at least 110 trackers. Tomorrow we'll order the LCD's from Matrix Orbital. Many thousands of dollars spent but it will be made back and then some. But a lot of time and work will happen to get there.

So amongst all the Christmas festivities and the days interruptions we will be stuffing boards as much as we have parts for. The holidays may delay the arrival of parts recently ordered. Sorry if a tracker was to be a Christmas gift for someone. Were building them as fast as we can.

Best of the season!
