As far as purchasing...do eBay - that's what I did. Shipping to Levittown was 40.82USD. Invest in a real antenna while you're at it, too. You can fight for it on eBay, or find someone with Thales website access and buy them for 160USD.
Nope, the POS DragonRed copy.. just wondering if there is anything that is physically wrong that i might be able to repair (grounding/connections etc) helpfully dragonred decided to epoxy/whatever the radio contents into the metal casing, so whatever i pull out will most likely result in an all-or-nothing effort..

just strange how it works for a while, cuts out and then (can, but rarely) can cut back in.. i would have thought that if it was due to heating, it would always work after a day or two of being 'off' (doesn't) and that it wouldn't start working after a few minutes.

anyway, it's US all the way now, and a real Thales antenna as well..
