Brice You said: At this time, I have no plans to offer kits. By the time you get all the parts "kitted", most of the work is done. Assembly isn't the most difficult nor time consuming task. I've offered kits before (Amateur Radio Transceivers) and they were every bit as time intensive as building the units themselves. ... but I know that when I ship one of my modules, it will work *flawlessly* right out of the box. If I simply ship out a bag of parts I can't guarantee that. I know all this sounds a bit strange... and at some point I may change my ways... but for now, no kits. Sorry. I fully understand. You have created a quality product, you deliver a quality product, you stand behind your product, and you do not want to have the financial risk, or risk the reputation of your product or yourself being tarnished by mistakes on the part of the assembler over whom you have no control and no knowledge of their abilities or competence. But I'm really dumb and stubborn and love to kick a dead horse. Final question, would you consider the option of delivering the PCB and the uncommon components, and optionally, the front panel? In this 'partial kit' format, the buyer takes ALL responsibility for any problems and would have to pay you to debug/repair a unit with problems. Only those parts that are hard to get or require special handling (such as initial programming) would be supplied. Thanks for putting up with my questions. At the rate my pocket book is going, it will be your 4th or 5th production run before I can finally buy an assembled unit. Larry T.
