[R-390] Re: [Milsurplus] RE: POSTAL MAIL CHARGES

[Barry]

This rate increase really caught me off guard.  I sold a radio to a fellow
in Hong Kong last week and quoted him the rate (approximately $32).  I went
to mail it today and they now told me the price is over $63!  I would hate
to think what it would have been had this been an R390-class radio.
