i thought about trying to get one, but $400 extra right off the bat and
having it shipped to a friend out of the country and then back in(and paying
for that), just didnt seem worth it.

Thanks for the explanation, Paul. I was really curious about this. I had
my doubts that it was a new revision since passband.com and radiointel.com
had no Info. about a new 545.

the nrd-545g is the european version of the nrd-545.
its rom is not cell blocked, when the vhf/uhf convertor card is
installed
you can tune cell freqs. most people think the uhf/vhf card is what is
blocked, that is not the case with this radio. it can only be sold to
governmental agenices and to export addresses outside of the usa.

I was looking on Grove's website today and I happened to stumble upon
a
JRC
NRD-545G for $2,195.

http://www.grove-ent.com/jrcprofreceivers.html

Could this be a new version of this receiver? Universal still lists
this
unit at $1,799 without mention of the 545(G) designation. Also, the
Grove
website states in a very Moses-like fashion that, "Thus, the
new-generation
NRD-545 receiver has come into the world."
