I It’s hard for me to believe that an entire year has gone by since our previous Grove catalog was put together. During this interval quite a number of events around the world -- not all good -- have encouraged monitoring. Our government and military clients contact us on an on-going basis to learn more about the new products that we have which provide high performance at low cost. Their interest is primarily to keep an ear open on unfriendly communications, both here and abroad.
