hi sandy, i was told it cost only 6k which is pretty cheap for a GVT' radio lol. these were built by rockwell collins up here in the great white north and many of the were used by the canadian military etc..i've already sourced the hard and impossible to find service/owners manual which a fellow aker has been kind enough to get for me and will be all set for when the radio arrives.the hf 2050 is one of the first radios to implement dsp .i've also heard great things about the audio on these receivers and it will be interesting to do a side by side comparison with my drake r8.
