[Icom] PIEXX UX-14PX Plus for IC751/A

[Chris]

Since the original UX-14 was $72.50, and the original CT-17 was $97.50 the
cost to put the 751 on line with your PC was $170. Since the new UX-14PX is
$139 including both UX-14 and CT-17 functionality, not even considering the
cool fix for band change operation and the  6 level memory stack, the question
should be:

How much did the $ deflate in 12 years.

73,
