Tim, you asked about FTEL's production capacity. As I know it today, Starcom is manufacturing several of Franklins products. I know that I asked not to long ago about the capacity on D-mark Channel banks and was told that they could produce about 100 per month but that was going to be ramped up to about 3x that capacity shortly.
Most of Franklins manufacturing comes from third party jobbers, all they have to do is some minimal assembly and testing. I think back in December Franks trip to San Diego addressed a lot of these issues, because when I inquired just recently, he stated that mfg. was under control, sourcing was his main focus at the time.
Hope this helps, I know it's vague, but then again so is his answers.
Frank is a meticulous and detail oriented person, down to a fine toothed comb, so if he says not to worry about production, it's handled, then I believe it's a non issue.
