Thank goodness for Wayne & Eric!

The manufacture of the PT-8000 product line has been discontinued.

Due to the constant obstacles which we must overcome in ensuring compliance 
with EU-wide governmental regulations imposed on manufacturers, we were
required to make constant design changes to this top-quality transceiver. 
The very high design goals which we had set for the PT-8000 could be 
fulfilled in a few prototype units. However, guaranteeing this high standard 
without limitations in a series production program with many vendors runs 
into difficulties which cannot be overcome at a cost level which is still 
acceptable.

We are most grateful for the great interest shown in us whilst this project 
was underway.
