XTS Public Safety Speaker Mic RF Adapter Pricing

Does anyone know why Moto charges $10 if you buy the NTN8327 RF
Adapter with either the 3K or 5K. If bought later, the same part is $140.
You have to have the adapter to use the PS Speaker Mic. Moto ships the
unit loose in either case. Why the huge price difference?

That is correct, my radio prcurement agreement is exactly that.
I have no idea why though.

It's just like a car...the 6 CD changer is dirt cheap when you buy it with the car, but is like 1000% more when you buy it after the fact

It's good marketing on Motorola's part.

I wonder if someone makes an adapter that is a "T" arrangement...SMA Male on one side, SMA Female on the other and a BNC female on the "T" part. That'd work just fine for most people and probably wouldn't cost $140.
