    William,

    Timely request!

    We've only got SX28AC/DP and SX48BDs left from Ubicom, and over 150K Parallax-labeled SX chips in our inventory with man more on the way. As promised, we have both leaded and RoHS-compliant packages in our inventory. The Parallax SX chips still have to undergo testing, but the pre-qualification is complete. Within two weeks I expect us to be well underway with the testing program and then they'll be for sale. And as promised, we will now be able to offer lower prices. Today we were able to roll up our new costs and we're now in the process of defining the correct retail/distributor prices.

    A new Parallax SX datasheet is prepared and will be available within a few days.

    We appreciate the patience our customers have shown. We're in a backorder situation at the moment but our customers are being supportive.

    We hope to have a marketing announcement within a week.

    Sincerely,

    Ken Gracey

    Are all the SX-18s gone?!
    I was thinking of grabing a few of those as they are rated at 75Mhz.

    Hey Kramer,

    SX18s are all gone, both in 50 and 75 MHz. We are able to make these again in the future and will evaluate doing so, but only after we get our current plans underway.
