I am talking about buying it new from a dealer at the hamfest vs Gigaparts or Ham City. I have been bitten by used before. I have the power supplies well in hand. My only worry about buying from the dealer at the hamfest is the likelihood of him having the speech unit.
Hopefully I ill get an answer as to the specific  speech unit I need. I had heard that the ts2000 uses the same speech unit, but this might be totally false.  I can’t wait for my new toy
