So I thought I would chime in here... I'm am number 2875 and I have recieved my unit.. which was serial 00173.. or something like that.. anyway, here in Alaska it is dividend time and all the radio shops are flooded with customers. So i don't want to wait and I'm doing the install myself.. ... wish me luck. By the way, if anyone in Anchorage, Alaska reads this thread and wants to give me a call to check out my Empem (probably the first in Alaska) just email me! I'd be glad to show it to you.
