I got it back in 2008, I think it was around $1500 give or take. Remember
though, I wheel and deal at HRO a little bit so I got mine with all but the
1.2 Gig module because I'd heavily doubt I'd ever use that band. A lot of
times I ask for a deal if I get all options and get it. What it goes for now
I don't know but I know it's a current model, takes the VS-3 for voice read
out and I don't think there's much if anything I can't do with that radio on
my own.
