[CQ-Contest] radio prices

[derrick belbas]

I'd recently (Dec) bought a 706 at $729, but I understand that the price is now at or near $900.  There seem to have been some other significant price increases recently.

deal of the year..  my co-worker just picked up a used 746PRO for around US$330.  No kidding..  huge variations.

I really like this 706, btw, but my intention was to have it around as a #2 radio.
