I have a target in mind, but I haven't computed the final cost to build the unit, yet. So, the target is likely higher than what I will actually end up setting the price at. For this reason, I don't think it would wise for me to release a number at this time. This will be neither a low-budget unit nor outrageously expensive though. --On Tuesday, January 18, 2005 12:24 PM -0500 Tom Combs <tcombs@sep.com> wrote: > Can you disclose anticipated MRSP?
