If you buy a whole complete car (in this example) it will cost you $20,000.
If you buy a whole car - part by part - it will cost you $300,000.

The same theory applies here. So buyer beware. If you know you want
D-star, don't buy it as an add on, buy it built-in, else it is going to
cost you.

Is there anyone here who can explain to me why the ICOM IC-2820H
costing $649.95 with the UT-123 D-Star DV Digital Voice / GPS Unit
$269.95 for a total of $919.90 can be worth so much more than the Icom
ID-800H costing only $559.99 with the Dstar all ready installed. I
would really like to know because at first look the ID-800H looks like
a fantastic bargain. What am I missing. I'm not trying to start an
argument I just cannot understand what makes the one worth $920 and
the other $560. Any insights would be welcome.
