Hi Michael,

Yes we are a small company. I am the single person that handles Design, Procurement, Assembly, Programming, Test and Fulfillment as well as RMAs.

I sold my house and have been backed up moving everything, including the office which is currently torn apart between two locations. This will continue thru the end of August. This is not an excuse it is simply reality.

DRAWS Boards are 100% Tested before shipping. Returned units go through additional testing and fault isolation as well.

Your board is defective and a new one is being shipped today.

If anyone else has an issue please use the form to report it. If it’s been reported and hasn’t been resolved, please email me directly

sales@...

Thanks for your patience,

Bryan K7UDR

to posts on the NW DIGITAL site are sparse at best.  They  however, seem quick to recognize posts on Groups.io. I believe they are a small operation, but customer support is very important! Especially to a small business!!!’

That is how I see it.

Agree, Having a call-center in India works for Microsoft, but doesn't
work for Ham Radio.

Onward...

Well it's interesting they can reply instantaneously to groups.io but if you use the proper channel you're pissing in the wind.??

Suggestion to NW Digital Radio staff... simply DO NOT REPLY to
customer service issues on your lists.

Just provide a blanket statement that customer service queries MUST to
go through the customer service (private) emails.

I received the Draws on or about June 28.  It performed flawlessly until a couple days ago. 
After using it till about midnight, I discovered that it was essentially dead the next morning.
Draws-Manager said it could not be found. There was zero audio to my Ft818.  The gps no longer
functioned in gpsmon or cgps, including a myriad of other issues.  Pi continued to perform fine.  
I hooked up the Signalink and was able to work as before. I vbelieve that the board has quit.  
I sent a message via the NW Digital site and no response. Please exchange this board for a working replacement.
Please advise.

Sincerely,

Mike Narges WF8O
