Greetings!

  Well, I seem to have cleared customs, thanks to a quick 5106 form, a Fedex guy who has actually handled empegs before, and a paperwork inspection by the FDA (I would have never thought that the Food & Drug Administration would handle FCC emissions stuff...).  But now, I have wandered into another delay.  Has anyone seen this before?

  I will be calling FedEx in a little while to see what this one is.

Update:  Well, that message just means that they haven't gotten it cleared through yet.  The FDA still hasn't released the unit, even though the FedEx agent said all the paperwork was in order.  I will be talking with the FedEx rep handling the FDA side in a little while...<P ID="edit">_Edited by pgrzelak on 28/9/00 12:23 PM._
