All these assumptions are amusing. Lets see.............. it's a Canadian company that sells Doppler Radar systems all over the world. (see their website Redirection en htm). Do you really think they are stupid enough to invest a boatload of money, introduce it at Shot Show, keep a webpage up, explained in a newsletter that they are running behind due to a key employee who got sick and was off 3 months, and not know if it will pass FCC testing before they started? Apparently someone talked to the horses mouth, and they said Labradar is still alive. Why would they lie? I guess we will wait and see in a few months when "Fall 2014" is over to see if they have any working units that are available. My bet is on them, not the rumor mill.
Remember what Dragnet Joe Friday says........Nothing but the facts mam.
Not for nothing, but it would not be unheard of for a company float a prototype at an industry show and never bring it to market. Car companies, golf club companies and computer companies do it all the time.
They didn't take any advanced orders and didn't take payments for future deliveries so floating it to see interest is not out of the question.
They may have very well been set back by a key employee but I would bet more on issues of parts or tech development causing dramatically more cost than originally planned.
Often times the estimated costs to bring a prototype to market end up being so far off that the product isn't viable.
Only time will tell.
