or is it real - that the BC250D has indeed gotten FCC certification? I'm not at all sure what to believe, but there's some additional news on this at Rich Wells' excellant Strongsignals web site. Since I seem to have gotten into trouble sending URLs (I got a bounced message- don't quite know why), if you're not familiar with the site, there's a link on the Capitol Hill Monitor's web page. 73s Mike
