I was under the impression that ARRL buys the equipment they reveiw, and 
then auction it off later. This is so they get a regular off the 
production line rig instead of a special carefully tweaked rig for the 
reveiw. I did not think the rigs were "provided" to the ARRL in any way 
other than being sold to them.
