There is nothing proprietary in what they have released to date....I await my friend's information...but they sure could have been more forthcoming....which I don't think would have hurt them....but certainly have helped their customers/clients/dealers/market value....I can't understand what they were thinking...personally I am glad they have done something....and it seems a reasonable solution...if expensive...but just a few years behind the curve....but I understand their focus came from their "carriage trade" investors...who thought $3000 radios were the best target....on personal note I would have thought Meridian have been forth coming to their supports...you and other who have tried to communicate with them
