TETRA Waiver Granted

Hello,

Very exciting news came forth from the FCC concerning TETRA -- the
waiver is granted, and we can now present the technology that 114 other
countries use to interested people in the United States. No longer a
"science project", we now have the ability to form a business
relationship, and work with perspective customers to try out the
equipment, and see if it solves their problem.

Frequencies authorized include the 450 - 470 MHz band, and 817-824 and
862 - 869 MHz bands. Because TETRA audio is all digital from the moment
a Microphone catches it, it should be possible to talk in on 450 MHz,
and also reach people on 800 MHz. I want to try it, as there are places
where 800 Mhz would be useful, such as building penetration. More to learn!

In the early days of the pilot, we did show some interested parties the
radio system, but we had to disclaim that the system is not available
for sale. It's hard to show a superior technology, and generate
interest, but not being able to deliver the interest to the customer.
The customer can also now try the product, and know that it is not a
waste of time, as there is a means now to obtain the system and upgrade
what is presently in use.

Time to get ready for the UTC show coming up in a little over a week.
