[TowerTalk] Why is the 25GSSB Base Plate Difficult to Find?

[TexasRF at aol.com]

I can only speak for Texas Towers concerning the SSB25G:
 
The dealer price is $206 vs $82 for the BPC25G. We get a call maybe once  
every year or two for one so there is not enough interest to stock the plate. I  
am guessing that the price is a put off for most folks.

Thank  you to everyone who has emailed me on and off list.  Thanks for
all of  the great references as well.

I guess my main question is why does  virtually nobody sell the
self-supporting base plate?  Do people not  use them?

The pinned and tilt over are available everywhere.  The  lack of wide
availability of the self supporting base plate is  perplexing...
