Very typical... can never get a straight-up truthful response from Grayling and now it bleeds into Agoracom.

The apple never falls far from the tree!

Hey Joe,

As best as I can tell, Scott itself is not a publically traded company thus no investor relations. They appear to be a division of Tyco (which is public) and when I phoned the Tyco IR they were in the dark about all this.

Another thought as well, Scott has EXCLUSIVE rights to ClearCalm which would imply to me that Grayling cannot try to adapt the product for any other vendor's SCBA equipment. Also, Scott will be selling ClearCalm under their OWN brand name... I've looked at Scott's product offerings but do not see anything of the likes of a communication system such as the ClearCalm product under another title.

Makes me wonder if Scott just made a deal with Grayling with no intention of bringing the product to the public market waiting for Grayling to sink then offering them pennies to the dollar for complete ownership of the product. Kind of like oil companies buying up alternative energy patents then burying them with no intentions of developing them just to protect against competion from their "oil energy" business.

Stranger things have happened.
