Given your contacts with Planet, have you explored taking any of the markers being received as a part of their current GEO deal?
It would appear to be a ready supply, they may even tech them for you!
As for teching, I qualified as an Ego tech in 2005, and did an update last year.
That said, if anyone still has an Ego 5 for sale, please let me know.
