Will have to stay with system red.
Staying with RED is absolutely fine. RED, after all, is the basis for BLUE.... Both are the systems of the foreseeable future.
Just curious... since you don't solder... Did you have a friend assembly your RED?
The double handful of parts that must be soldered in BLUE would be fairly simple with good skills... nothing like building a RED...

I'm curious, would anyone upgrading like to sell their old one cheap? I live in Mississippi USA and I don't think there is a station anywhere close to me. I'd like to fill in the hole but being disabled puts me on a tight budget. As long as a older system will provide good data, I'm fine with the older system.

Good Idea... 
just make sure you get a RED if someone does replace with a BLUE.... many RED operators may not order BLUEs for sometime, however, since RED is unlikely to become obsolete...

That was my thinking. I wouldn't want to get one that will be non-functional in a short time. I mostly just want to fill in a area that has little coverage. I'm a Linux user so I like to help on some things that interest me when I can. I figure the power consumption is negligible and bandwidth isn't a problem. My DSL sits idle a lot anyway.
If anyone is interested later on, send me a PM or something.

Hi!
the same is true for me.
I'm manufacturing electronic devices here in Germany (Bavaria), so i've got a lot of electronic and soldering equipment..
So if someone has difficulties with soldering or has got poor or no equipment,
i will solder your "BLUE" for free..
Don't want to earn something, merely the shipping costs should be repayed...
(or perhaps a donation to Blitzortung.org)

Need more stations in Norway. I think there are less than 10. (I can now count 12!)
I tried to buy a RED system loooong time ago, without luck.
Hope to haver better luck now with the BLUE system!
