Hi.

First of all, this radio does have extended receive and you do not have to 
do anything to enable it.

Second, when I went to buy mine about a week and a half ago, I was told by 
The Ham Station that they were sold out of them and wouldn't be getting any 
more.  So, I went to R&L Electronics, and the person who waited on me 
initially said he didn't think they had any left but went back and looked 
and found that he did.  I've heard several people on the list claim that 
they are not being discontinued, but draw your own conclusion from my 
experiences.
