It baffles me to no end that
it would actually bother someone to have another wait for their
opportunity
to come along. I see nothing at all wrong with someone waiting until
testing requirements meet *their* expectations.

It's kinda like saying "I'm not going to buy a (new computer, digital
camera,
PDA, flatscreen TV/monitor, MP3 player, etc., etc.) until the price drops
below
X dollars", isn't it?

In fact, might not part of the driving force behind a "wait and see"
policy?
One of the best ways to kill a sale of items like the ones above is to say
"there's a new model coming out soon that will do more and cost less".

True story: Close friend of mine needed a PDA for work. Everybody at her
workplace uses iPaqs, so she goes to the local computer store and gets one
at a
discount. It's the demo model, last one in the store. Takes it home,
installs
hardware and software, struggles with it, dern thing won't sync with her
PC no
matter what she does. Takes it back, store tech says it's a defective
cradle
and she gets a full refund.

Two weeks later goes back to the same store and gets a brand new iPaq, no
discount, with more features, longer life battery, yada yada - for less
money.
Works perfectly.

And, so will our ham bands. The only plus is that maybe the whiners will
stay off...
