Yes, I'm back. I asked you to take James ahead of me. It took me about 10 seconds to dispense with my phone call. So I'm back. Well, I preordered the new Kenwood mobile radio from BX Engineering the first week that it was announced. And it actually doesn't look much different than, or really have any features listed. That aren't in the radio I've already got, which is the TM-G710 GA. But what I did like, which was significantly different, is they changed the display. The current radio is like many, many mobile radios with a backlit monochrome LCD. And those displays can be very difficult to read under certain light conditions. In other words, most mobile light conditions, if the sun is out, it's very difficult to read, and so on and so forth. And this new model had a white display, which looks like it should be drastically easier to read under any conditions. So anyway, that's the one thing I'm waiting for. I don't know if it's worth it to buy a new radio for that one feature. Probably not. I think one thing that might be delaying the companies from actually doing their announcements is all the stuff with tariffs and all that stuff's been really up and down and making things a little confusing. So that would put me off on introducing a new product. But we'll see how that goes. Tokyo, Tokyo coming up. Very good. But I'm not going to Tokyo. Where I'm going is to South Korea. I'm supposed to leave tomorrow at noon. And I say supposed to leave because I have one small problem that I've encountered. I didn't take it out of the house. I don't know where it is. I didn't put it where it's supposed to be in the box where I keep all my important papers and financial stuff. Yes, that would be my passport. Where the heck is my passport? I am starting to go a little crazy because I've left every place. But I will continue looking every place because without the passport, without the passport, I will be checking in again this time tomorrow on this net. KI7ZEI.
