Personally, I'd go for the 100 watt with the tuner. If not, you'll need
a larger supply and probably an external tuner. I felt the same way you
did when I bought my 590. I asked hro in Debnver and they wouldn't
install the voice board. I called universal radio and got radio for the
same price and they installed the board free.
