I've had a lot of correspondence with "Jackie" at Redsun myself. After
being assured I could get a sample of the RP3000 from them for $89 plus
shipping, and after 6 months of letters telling me "it's still in
engineering/still in prototype/will be out in March/out in April/out in
July" I finally got one that said to get one from CCrane. I DID get a letter
from CCrane offering me a radio for the price promised by Redsun/Jackie, but
they tried to sell me an RP2100. They never got back to me about an RP3000
at all. As far as I'm concerned, for the foreseeable future, it's vaporware.
Would love to have one if it ever materializes. I have a permanent watch on
Liypn's store for one. A competitor (or maybe it's him as well) has ANTENNAS
for the 3000 and 3100, but nobody's got the radios yet.
