[ARC5] final price for R-128 = US$305. Now R-148/ARC-5X

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I agree.  In 50+ years of collecting, I have come across exactly one 
DY-1/ARR-2X.  Marty Reynolds (SK) once shipped me an R-148/ARC-4X just so that I 
could say that I had once seen one..  The other items, plus the R-3/ARR-2X I 
have never seen nor heard of anyone having.
