Hi Ray,

We have a guy on a market stall in Stevenage market, who does it for a
tenner, so it shouldn't cost much more than that.

All the best

Hi, and please note the change of subject line, and many thanks to Brian
Hartgen for his enlightenment on the 6630.

Now I'm asking about unlocking hones, legally.  I presume it can be done.
Do many vendors do this?  How much is it likely to cost?

Help much apprecieated.
Ray
