Well, to me, $215 seems a little high. That Bearcat goes for $100 online. The antenna, $20. The other stuff, well, he probably isnt charching you too much for that. I would guess, he is charging you $175 for the $100 radio, and then the rest is for that Hotrod, and other stuff. Ya might think twice before you dive in. Then again, if you went, and bought everything on your own, it might come out about the same. Just need to look over everything.

Thanks for the input.....aside from the "package deal price" are the items themselves decent or crap?

Questions like this are similar to "WHAT IS THE BEST TRUCK" It really depends on what your looking for in a radio. Want the bells and whistles, get a radio that has the ability to be heavily modified. Or just get a galaxy/connex. Just want a radio that allows you to talk to other people on the same stretch of highway, something like what your looking at should be fine, maybe a step down. You looking for bells and whistles, or a decent radio that allows some control of mike gain and and RF gain?

Just want something that is of good quality, reliable, LEGAL, easy to use, and won't cost a fortune.

ANOTHER QUESTION:
I was looking at the Uniden PC68 Elite and PC78 Elite radios on Premiere Electronics website. The descriptions are IDENTICAL....but I am sure there are some differences (other than price) other wise there wouldn't be different model numbers.
Does anyone know what the difference between the 2 are?
