Yep. I sent "bitrom" a bunch of emails too. Some he responded to, some he hasn't. And 3 months later, no item received. I gave up. 70 pounds (~$150) wasted. I have a feeling delays involving divIDE+ units bought through RWAP (that Bill was referring to) may even have something to do with the way this guy does business, if he is the only wholesale supplier of the divIDE+ units to RWAP. I've been an Ebay member for years and this is the first time I have had such bad luck with a transaction. May be it is the Polish postal service? may be not?? Anyway.. Unfortunately I really wanted that item. :( Murphy's Law I guess.

actually the person who is manufacturing the divIDE units for RWAP. !?!??
I had the same problem with bitrom, but after insisting and sending
several e-mails with some menacing words, I finally got my DivIDE+. At
first he used to reply to his e-mails, but after a while he stopped
doing it. I cannot do business with a person who doesn't maintain good
communication.
About the DivIDE, we really need the fixer to use it on the TS2068.
I'm not certain, but I think that if Rich (from RWAP) knew there was
enough interest, we would probably do it for us. Does anybody know
which signals need to be fixed?

Apparently mine will be coming from RWAP in the recent batch that they
mentioned on the Website. I'll let you all know when it comes.

I have previously had dealings with 'bitrom' to great success.
I'm wondering if something else may be going on.....

Looks like it will be August now due to personal issues on the production
end. *sigh*
