Thanks Jan, However all the parts and modules are still listed in Teks 2001 Catalog, and I've had no such warnings given to me. In fact I have just recd a cal due notice from Tek for my equipment and it makes no mention that these are going out of production. Due to the VERY large installed base of 11801's and 803's I personally find it incomprehensible that Tek should wish to even suggest that they wish to stop supporting this equipment. Anyone from Tek care to comment? Dave Jay Diepenbrock wrote: hanlimitations. Be aware that the 11801/CSA803 and accompanying plug-ins > including the SD-24, etc. have all been discontinued.
