As stated by someone else, Most pilots already have the radios. I am
using a new Futaba 9C. Yes, it was over $500, but I was trading up from
an 8 UAPF. Sold it for a couple hundred after using it for 4 years. Since
I routinely upgrade my equipment this way, it is impossible to determine
what the cost of my current equip is. Battery packs? another $20-$30?
