Hello,
It is $15 plus 5.50 shipping and handling. I called up soon after it was
announced and got quoted a price of $86 dollars. The woman handling the
Upgrade Order line said the $15 dollar price quoted on Compuserve was
wrong. When brought up on Compuserve and by calling AEA the next week
I found out I was overcharged and the $15 dollar price was right!
Someone also left a message on compuserve saying that he faxed an order
for the Upgrade for $15 dollars + S/H and someone from AEA called back
and told him the price was $30 dollars.
I would suggest to Ron or anyone with the DSP boxes that paid more than
$20.50 ($15+5.50 S/H) to contact AEA and get this straighten out. Hopefully
putting the charge in dispute with the Credit Card company or contacting
the US Post Office will not be needed.

Speaking of Santa, how many of you heard Kitsat (I *think* it was
Kitsat) on Christmas day?
Last night on 80m, an amateur was playing back a recording of it.
You first hear the usual bzzz...bzzz... data packets; and suddenly
it burst into what sounded like Jingle Bells played by a chorus of
bells!
The one who played it back on 80m was hoping the FCC was not
listening. I, for one, am glad he played it back -- made my
Christmas!
And a happy new year...

It was explained somewhere that it may not have been illegal for the
Germans and Russians to set that up on the satelite since their rules are
different. 73
