I remember I asked how much an original Lowe keypad for this radio
went for.
Well take a look. Almost $71. I really feel I got a good deal on mine
for
$500 since it included the keypad, USA power supply and
batteries/orig
manual. The last 150 sold for $465 with no US power supply and no
keypad.

The person who spent $71 on the keypad got a lousy deal if you ask
me--unless of course the point was simply to have have it as a
'collectable'. For $79.95 he could have purchased a remote control for
the 150 that has way more functionality than the original keypad:

I bought one of these things for my Drake a while back and have been
loving it. I'm one of the few people around I guess who doesn't like
having their receiver hooked directly to a computer. At the same time,
I don't like having to sit right in front of my receiver all the time
in order to tune around. The remote is very liberating.
