Re: Electrix/IVL petition

I would prefer a petition to ask IVL to ship the Repeater again in a short
time, even under another flag else than electrix.
Heck, here in Italy arrived very few of them and at almost double the price
(almost 1000$). Three months ago the shop I work into decided to order a
pair of them and the importer told us that we had to wait 'till October,
since they were waiting a shipping from electrix... Now it will never
arrive.
