Not necessarily...the parts for a Syntor are harder to get, and harder to get to, and will be more expensive. Micor's are just as reliable as a Syntor X, more plentiful, and easier to work on. > The 100 watt VHF drawer units can be picked up for $10.00 at swapmeets Not really important, as he already has the radios, as you mentioned as well. But finding them for $10 is NOT going to happen very often. I've never seen them go for under $50 for the 100W. I've seen 40W go for as low as about $25-30. > and if you have an eeprom burner you can program them yourself for an > investment > of $20.00 for the two radios. Where have you found an EEPROM burner for that? All the ones I've seen have been well over $100. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
