That's the exception, not the rule. Typically UHF (non tripler) MII's go for $75 - $100. But even at that price, you are looking at the RF being the cheapest part of the equation. The antenna will cost more, the feedline may cost more, the controller will cost more, the power supply will cost more and a base station duplexer will cost more. I'll assume that the tower and site are free.
So, a free radio doesn't mean much in the whole scheme of things. And for $10 per UHF radio... tell me you bought the entire lot... or start kicking yourself in the rear end.
