That Mystic was a slick unit. I sold many of them to kayakers when they came out.

Lowest price I have seen on this unit is $203 from one dealer ( unknown to me until now) , and $216 from this Google search. STANDARD HX850S HANDHELD VHF W/GPS AND DSC

Is there a TBR associated dealer or sponsor that will match prices?

$203 - $216 is a very good price and I'd suggest you go with Southshore as they know their stuff!

If they can't help you we'd be happy to get the item for you.

I do believe availability is limited but that should change very soon.

I heard from another very reputable internet dealer we all know from another site that he didn't have any yet as the FCC hadn't approved them, but availability was supposed to be around 3/4/08.
Anyone have them for sale yet or know different?
