        How much is Uniden selling theirs for, & under what terms
        (returns, warranty, repair, etc.)?
BJ> The extra battery pack is $35 at RS, and I've heard they aren't carrying
BJ> the 'extra' charger.  All in all, TOO expensive, and the RS policy on
BJ> stripping accessories is still bad business.
        Not if it means more choices for the consumer.  I think a
        policy of letting the customer mix & match items is to his
        advantage.
