ian stone is who you need to talk to. i dont recall seeing him around much/at all anymore???

his buddy made them, but i think they would only do them if there were like 10-15 people who wanted them

when i had my vx pocket, that dongle was sooo perfect. i dont think i could own a vx pocket now w/out clipping all the cables i wasnt using off!

[shaggy]

We'll I'd like one too.  If anyone has one to sell.....

i bet if you guys got all the guys who grabbed these vx pocket 440s together you might have enough to justify that guy making a batch

BUT it did take like 3 months to get it

I got one of those 440's off ebay too and would love to have it modified for coax only. Count me in if someone takes this project on.

im not sure if anyone here could do it. it requires some specialized soldering tools and abilities to make those dongles!

[Mic D]

I want one too.

i agree with Dustin.  I still have my vx pocket and the dongle ian made and it's way better than that factory one.  If i were you guys i would get a hold of ian and see if you had enough people if his buddy would make some more

[ianstone]

i can do it,
i think my buddy has already ordered some parts as i've gotten a good # of emails over the past couple months looking for them

They wind up costing about $45 each incl. parts and labor

true, but was it worth the wait? That's the question....

yeah unfortunately my new job doesnt allow me to fuck off all day long on these message boards, and quite frankly i have better things to do w/ my evenings

but i do miss this place!!!



anyone's interested - shoot me an email.

Thanks,
Ian Stone

YES ian, they were incredibly worth the wait. the only reason it took that long was because i got in right after the first batch, and had to wait for a bunch of other people to get in so he could do another batch. and i believe there were some hassles with parts not arriving also fwiw

Sweet! Let's get this thing rolling. Do you have a lappy now Kevin?

[Mic D]

I

Do you have a lappy now Kevin?

I have a 15.2" (screen) lappy that is too big for the field. I use it for transfers.

[Phil]

I'll take one!

I would love to get two but one thing how dose it work do I get a new peace for the vx pocket or do I have to send him the one that I got  whit mine. If you could give me a email at bl6216@yahoo.com and tell me what is I would be very grateful.

it comes complete, you end up with 2 dongles for it, so you get to keep the one with all the inputs/outputs
