I was able to get an AV2, an RF gateway, and an Ethernet card for $500 total. From that deal, I decided I am going ot learn how to program this stuff. Unfortunately, I still face the gotchas like this CAGE2 part...which limits my learning since it's so hard for me to obtain components.

A small group of us here did some math on this several months back andbasically what we found was that retail on an AV2 with card cage waspretty close to retail of a PRO2.Since the PRO2 is Crestron's flagship they promote that unit over allthe others (excepting Adagio), so the theory is they priced it thatway to encourage purchasing the PRO2 over the AV2 with a cage.Its a marketing strategy, basically the same reason as the hot dog andbun thing.ChipG--- In Crestron@..., "fooguy89" <fooguy89@...> wrote:>> Simple.
