The fact that certain features appear in certain radios and not in 
others may lie in the "intellectual property" . Mfg A is unwilling to 
sell the rights to a particular feature to competitor Mfg B or at least 
is unwilling to sell below a price that will compensate A for the loss 
in sales gained by B because they now have this feature too. Or B cant 
afford to recover the higher "cost" in enough added sales.?

There are at least two sides to every story, often more, ...The truth 
lies somewhere in between.
