Draws hat two weeks old defective

Michael Narges
 

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

As you suggested, I sent my dead Hat to you a couple weeks ago.  Please advise regarding turn around time.  Also, please also replace the power pigtail because the red lead broke off. Please let me know what I owe.

Thanks,

Good enough for me. I’m in the middle of moving and I must have mis-placed it. I’ll ship a replacement board to you.

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

That is my observation.  I very much question sincerity!  The Hat is a very good concept, but mine quit within two weeks. Very disappointing!!!

I am continuing to try and get it started but may be in a similar situation. It did work for a while, sort of.

Managing expectations and asking that one use the proper channels so that the official business side of things and so that items are tracked accordingly.

That is how I see it.

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