Robert-I think you will find the V/U modules were on *sale* for about a year now - longer than the original plan. The recent increase is probably due to restoring the modules to their normal retail price point.Any new product is commonly introduced with incentive pricing. Joe Roth, D.B.A > Dat

Listening to 2m FM repeaters is a pain in this area as most use CTCSS on the output. The Flex does an excellent job of providing full audio fidelity. The sub-tone from the repeater is disturbingly noticeable. I tried using the EQ but it makes a negligible difference. Is there a was to notch out

Nice idea Dan but very difficult for any company to handle. Something I and most hams have learned over the years, if your radio is mission critical to you, you best get a back up radio. I bought a 746PRO for that very reason. A nice used FT-101 or TS-520 among others (circa 1970-1980) is cheap an
