We asked one of our first customers his opinion of the kit. Here's what he said:
"The package was in excellent shape. There were no shortages. It took me about 5-1/2 hours to complete building the kit. The instructions and documentation are excellent. I found the transmitted audio to be very good and the receiver to be very sensitive. Thanks for a quality kit . I expect to be building more of your kits in the near future." -- Jim, W3WA
