The Horror stories are growing ever larger with all the companies! With
shoddy construction practices, poor designs, lousy delivery systems, and
high prices its a wonder any of this stuff ever works. I had two EXPENSIVE
radios totally destroyed by the carrier. After weeks of negotiations I
finally got some of my money back minus $100 shipping. Bottom line I paid
the Selling company $100 Dollars to allow the delivery trucks to destroy my
radios..(which I don't have) Ain't progress wonderful?? No more for me,
they can keep them!!!
