is the flooding of Astro Sabers really lowering the cost?

I have noticed that with the flood of Astro Sabers that the overall cost has dropped if you want to purchase one.

and I was wondering what a VHF AS3 with a 512K board is worth? I think it would be cheaper to buy a dift one off ebay then to have to spend the amout to get it reflashed and a 1meg board put in.

and does anyone have a idea of what that would run? not that i need a trunked system with my conventional system

but no agency local uses a trunked system so thats no problem

No, they are capitalists, who are exercising their right to get top dollar for a radio. Oh, the travesty of it all!

Hmm.

When did Astro_Saber get back on the board.

I think Astro Communications needs to get intouch with an admin asap. Since his new account has been suspened, he can contact me using the email -

alex ( a t ) batlabs.com

Not doing so will jeprodize his account.

It might take me a few posts to catch onto who is who, but I do have a simple rule. 1 account / person. If I catch ya, I reserve the right to can both of your accounts.
