at $50 for a hand held too, if anything goes wrong with it, it's just a
throw away anyway, no one in their right mind is going to send it out for
repair. Shipping would cost most of that $50 by the time you got it both
ways. If I wanted a hand held, I'd just spend the cheaper price myself. With
the little I use hand helds and the main one being commercial, likely I've
already bought my last one anyway. I'd like to get one someday I can do sky
command with the TS-2000 with but I'm doubting that will ever happen.
