I think missed that part from the original issue. And, no, I have not thought about volunteering my brand new radio for “months or years”, mostly because *I’ve* been burned badly before by similar situations with people I know or knew. I’m not saying the developers can’t be trusted, I’m sure they can, but *I* do not trust others I do not know, due to *MY* *personal* experiences. And those are my problems to deal with.
I know it’s all volunteers and stuff. I’m part of several such ham radio communities that are the same way. I was just asking if there’s been any update (“Has any progress been made…”) since it’s been 3 months that have passed. Really I just wanted a simple answer of yes or no. But I’ll take all of that as a “no”. Thank you for the reply. On Sun, Dec 19, 2021 at 13:47 D.J.J.
