Guys it not the cost of the radio, but the cost of getting it in this country. Diesel fuel is out the roof. All companies have increased their prices. Even if you do buy the cheaper trainer with 72 you will still endup moving to 2.4 later. So spend it now or pay later. I don't know this for a fact, but I have been told that a container that used to cost $8000 is now $13000. And the Chinese labor found out that can can get higher wages if they ask or they move to another company. Believe it or not companies there are having trouble finding and keeping employees. Dennis
