Dave Pullmer Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Just saw the email from trew. Looks like an awesome product! I wanted to go with LT/LRs but was turned off due to battery consumption. Looking forward to checking these out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No FCC certifications since November so not likely a new transmitter. So this one was certified in July, before the flurry of ETSI modifications. I should have looked further back.

I should have looked further back. Hi Matthew, What's happening is that in the last few years we have decided to build up many more units in the first proto-production round. We always hope these are a "final" design but.... Between two and five units are sent to the test labs depending on frequency bands with five others kept back for sales and internal test samples. Another 10 or so are sent to beta testers that we know will be proper PITA's. The beta testers use them on actual productions and give us feedback on hardware and software. Invariably, we receive suggestions (sometimes demands) that go into the next round of pre-production runs. All of this takes time. Beta testers, lab tests and the FCC amount to about three months. Any serious hardware or PCB changes require about a month and another round of beta tests. When the product is released to production, it takes about a month and a half to get final PCB's, place surface mount components and setup the final test procedures. Also, we have taken a new path on product release in that we aren't announcing products until we have 50 units or so on the shelf, ready to ship. All this takes months and any bugs (or gross errors) requires a reset at some point in the process. Carrying out a more complete testing and beta process just takes more time, in this case 7 months. Measure twice, cut once. Best Regards, Larry Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Cool new transmitter! And the range seems improved after the new firmware. (Referring to M2T/M2R) If you’re taking wagers for the next t-shirt giveaway I’d say a receiver unit with SMA antenna ports, DC input standard and professional output connector/s with AES as an option would make a lot of sense.
