Because there has been some discussion about this on net.auto,
and because mine arrived yesterday, I thought I'd share a few
comments.

First, they obviously have quite a backlog of orders, since I
ordered mine on November 1.  However, it was delivered a week
ahead of the day they promised me on the phone about three weeks
ago.

The unit itself is about the size of a cassette tape and comes
with all kinds of cables and attachment devices.

I can't say too much about range yet (given that I haven't
even had it for a day).  I went out last night, but found
no police anywhere (usually a welcome situation).  The unit
did display some of the behavior described in the manual, i.e.
appearantly being set off by burglar alarms or other such devices
in the area near my apartment.  These alarms usually consisted of
two or three beeps, but no real signal strength.

The only strong signal I measured was while traveling on Route
9 near the Parkway (two major highways in the central Jersey
area, for you out of staters).  I heard about some bear activity
on the Parkway via the CB, but was unable to acutally see anything,
so I can't draw much of a conclusion from this.

Any other questions or comments can be directed at me via mail:
