[AMRadio] D-104 modifications

[Jim Wilhite]

I just found the owner of Astatic following my last message.  In 2006 a 
company called Barjan bought Astatic from Omnitronics.  Get this:

ROCK ISLAND, Ill.--May 25, 2006--Barjan LLC ("Barjan" or "the Company"), 
the leading distributor of consumer products to travel centers, truck 
stops, car washes and convenience stores today announced that it has 
completed the acquisition of the Astatic Mobile Communications business 
from Omnitronics, LLC. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. 
Barjan LLC is a portfolio company of Monomoy Capital Partners.

So it seems as if Astatic has fallen into these people's hands.

No more D 104s, now just hand mics with the Astatic name on them for the 
trucker crowd.
