I wonder for $4300, do you get a 3 month warranty or a whole year. Most
likely that does not include parts and labor. Warranty is probably voided
if you had a cigarette or cigar within 10 feet of it. If you want you
probably can buy the extended warranty for a mere $500. Isn't that about
how those things go? Oh, one more thing, if you radio is over five years
old, and the $3.00 on/off switch broke, you can't get a spare part and you
are just advised to junk it and buy a new one. Ric in Wisconsin.
