[Hammarlund] Hello, Im new to the list and I need some advice

[WYsixK]

Actually, you should probably hold out for the HQ180 that you want and
give me the contact info for your friend and I'll help him out with the
HQ170!  :-)

I agree that $225 is a steal.  I've bought four HQ170A's in my hunt for
a good one and the one I plan to keep is pretty good and I paid $365
for it without the speaker.

Happy shopping!

Michael
