Bought one back in May 2022 for $319 + 9% tax = $347.00. Also the RT Software with cable. Bummer that the price dropped as this is an excellent basic rig if you do not want all the fancy stuff like GPS, APRS, Color touch screen. I prefer the basic, stay on a single channel while in use. After reading the Gigaparts price, I logged into my HRO account and it is available for $259 (includes $40 coupon). Could not help myself and ordered 2nd one at $286.000 including tax. Will receive later in the week. When a good model comes out, I always buy 2 in case they discontinue or especially with lack of parts availability. Yaesu had to pull 2 models recently due to no parts. Glad that I read this post. KF6OJE
