As this should be the final comments on my order of a controller, the main reason there was a delay is that Paypal processed this order with an E Cheque.
I had expected an instant transfer of money as has happened many times in the past but when they do an E Cheque, it takes 10 - 15 days to clear. The money came from my account instantly so I'll be contacting Paypal to see why this happened. I now have had several E mails from Pion and Simon, and the money has arrived, the card will be shipped to-day. Their phone number does not appear on their web site but I assume it will be added. it is 503-545-4732 I'm glad to know that I now have contact with Pion and Simon and I look forward to receiving the controller card. 73, John, VE3AMZ / W4 Orlando Florida
