[TenTec] Mega Sale Pricing

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

For those that don't want the ATU, receive the radio with the ATU, pull it 
out, it's easy to do, and then sell it to someone that wants to install an 
ATU in their previously purchased radio that didn't have an ATU.

For various reasons, I've installed or removed the ATU in both my Eagle and 
Omni VII.  There's only 4 or so screws and a couple of cables to unplug or 
plug in depending on which way one is going.  The radio will work just fine 
with or without the ATU as defined in the MENU.

Dollar wise, every one wins.

Bob, K4TAX
