Okay, let me clarify Jester's post. All he is saying is that he feels the guy in the hobby shop, as helpful as he was, should have discussed the advantages of a higher capability radio with you. I know we have already talked about that subject and, while I do agree with Jester's post, not being involved in the talks in the hobby shop, or knowing what you can afford to spend(not that you finances are any of my or anyone else's business or that more capable radios can cost a lot more, this is just a fact of life) makes his post more of a subjective thought than real advice. When I agreed with Jester, I agreed that the hobby shop owner may have sold you a lower capability radio so that you would come in and spend more on a better one later, thus helping him make more money. This is a common practice in retail and, if in the end, you're happy with how it worked out, all is good
