The company says that it will have 100 units plus accessories packed up and ready to go at a special Hamvention price. The news release did not specify what that price will be, but from Hong Kong dealers advertising on eBay, these radios, complete with a rechargeable battery, desktop drop-in charger, auxiliary earphone
and a belt clip seem to sell for an average of around $80 plus $40 shipping to the United States That said, few expect the price to be that low in a retail environment such as Hamvention or your favorite radio store.
