[Lowfer] Flex radio Model 5000

[Idle-Tyme]

There are few things that bug me about the Internet, Not much gets me 
going.  But for this.

Web pages of people trying to sell something. But not a price seen 
anyplace!  I've gone to three pages looking at this rig, seems 
impressive, to the point I'm interested in possibly buying one.  But 
after spending time on three different web sites I was told to go to 
about stores and distributors, and not one has a price.

They just lost my sale.  If it's top secret, they can keep their 
secret!  What's the use of a web page that is trying to sell you 
something when the customer can find a price.?
