Thanks Mark for explaining that for us. Yes, these units are actually New. We opened up to do the hardware fix. Unfortunately, the stickers left some "Mark" behind but we will take note of this.
For RMA, we either replace them with refurbished unit or new units. DOA will replace with new units.

What is everyone complaining about??? I really don't think this is used equipment that was returned from other customers? I think it is the batch of units that they held at the plant with the "bad chips" which caused the HUGE firmware issue. So...they went in, replaced the chips and sent them out. It would still be NEW equipment. That is just my guess...but if EVERYONE is receiving equipment with stickers pulled up, then that is a pretty good assumption. The policy of giving us refurb equipment for every RMA may need a small amendment. If the unit is in play for let's say a few months and it goes bad. Well, I don't mind if they send me a refurb. But...if I receive a DOA, then I WANT a NEW unit for my RMA. My 2 cents.... Sully -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gino A.

Same here boys. I got one fresh from Singapor with all 4 corners of the the Total sticker peeling off. So that tells me that it had been opened up. By the way it is no good. SB.....You need to fix this problem. You need to sell those as a referb product at a discount price. With the # of radio's that have been RMA'd there are going to be a bunch of referbs coming down the line. SB PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!!
