Okay. Marty, what has happened with the Antenna channel inventories and how do you see things developing with the attempts, legacy, and RFS business?
Marty Singer
Okay, you've asked two questions there. Let me respond the both of them. As I mentioned Matt at that Wedbush Morgan conference that you hosted and had us participate in. What we haven't seen a sharp decline in inventories at our distributors. As a result, we thought we'd start to see a stronger uptick in April, we have not seen that yet. However, those inventory levels are getting down to two to four weeks, with the product and most of these distributors like to be at a much higher level, so they can satisfy customer demands for rapid delivery.
We believe that we'll start to see the benefit of this no later than the third quarter as these distributors, replenish their inventory, but like everyone else is attempting to hold cash and get greater return on their investments, then this is something that we are going to have to our muscle through over the next eight weeks or so, but we do see this going in a direction. We're convinced that we haven't lost share and it's just a matter of seeing the distributors willing to investment more cash in their inventory.

You mentioned TEMS I believes Matt, in one of your notes before for those of you who are on the call and are thoroughly familiar with this issue as we've described before our RFS has a highly leveraged sales model. We as a neutral supplier of scanning receiver technology, sell our scanning receivers into the test equipment that is provided by SwissQual, Nemo, which is owned by Anite. And of course, TEMS, which was until very recently owned by Ericsson.
Ericsson and Ascom announced that Ascom would be acquiring the TEMS unit and Ascom has a homegrown scanning receiver that it has by virtue of its some earlier acquisition of Comarco. We believe that we're going to be able to continue to complete for the combination of Ascom TEMS business.
We do not see a disruption in the near-term and our focus is to simply provide a scanning receiver with the best price performance characteristics in the industry and to convince all providers of test equipment that they are far better off buying from a supplier, who is a specialist in this area, rather than investing [their scares] development resources into an internal and therefore a very limited market for their own scanners.
