I don't think so. But they are a reputable company, and you shouldn't have
any problems with the transaction once you secure an account from the morons

their competition, and that they could pretty much bite me, and they replied
with account approval.
Or you can pay me and I can order it for you.
If you need someone to do the mod, I can do it (negotiate price offline).
Pixsends the PCB card with a segment of unshielded bare-ass wire, which I
