Too many of us looking at Ebay rite now, cheapest in the last several weeks has been around 150 used and you can get it new for 239 shipped, guess that is what I am gonna do.

Here's a link for one that is 219 shipped to your door, I screwed up yesterday buying the other one. The 76 I lost was up and running within a minute of turning it on and the other one I got took several minutes. Sometimes this isnt an issue but what I have found is that if it is slow aquiring then it will be slow updating. Slow is realavent, one updating every few seconds or less and the other every 5 to10 seconds. I am fixxin to order one of these.

I love to use it a night to back track and stay in the channel. We also use the same one at work with the card installed that has all the channels marked along the coast. Might be a better one out there for the price, but this one gets the job done for me.
