I'm not sure that's exactly how it went down. ;-) It is funny though - we started down the path of replacing it with a more "traditional" bracket and got quite the negative feedback from some existing customers on the change. Anyways we aren't going to make everyone happy - but we can try our best!
Now we start the (somewhat painful) transition to pull the mount out of the box and sell different options separately. We feel like this is the least wasteful and let's folks pick whichever mount they prefer: 1. Standard (current) bracket - $21 2. Long range precision bracket - $70 Of course we will reduce the price of the radio accordingly. It will take a little time for the transition.
