8 grand.  Will keep looking for a refurbed model.  Gary KB2YAA

If you guys are looking for something     easy to use, one button to push
and less than one second,  its tuned e you might take a look at a used Alfa
auto tune.  no tuner needed if your ants are less than 3 to 1 in five
segments on all bands.  Don't know the cost but it might be worth checking
into.  Alfa takes them in on trade and checks them out and sells them.  73
