Martin, Give KIDD a call tomorrow and see if you can coax a QSL out of them. It cannot hurt.
Like everything else today, the cheaper the better. Quality is hard to find at any price. But at least this modem I can deal with. I have had over a year of noise and it has not been fun. There is already more noise in the neighborhood than there used to be, but in my house I do not want anything to add to it.
