[TenTec] RX-366?

[Cecil]

I don't consider my OII to be any less worthy of the upgrade since it's been discontinued.  I've not really seen a decrease in prices of used OIIs over the last few months...not any more so than any other radio in today's market.  

As far as new products, I'm not an early adopter...I prefer to sit back and watch the debug process evolve and then usually pick up a nice used model if things look to have settled.  So that said I'll be using the OII for several more years.  Can't buy anything that can touch it for what I have in it...which isn't too far off of what I could get out of it.  So I'll hold...and upgrade it if I can.
