Marketing strategies...perhaps, but possibly because the product isnt any better than something from RadioShack at a lot less. I returned mine...still havent been credited back. Bad news, Bro.

The Gigabyte price is from $125 to $175 more than from other Amateur Radio stores.And it's not eligible for Prime. Excellent Radio and suggested list is $850. I wish Amazon could query some ot the Brick and Mortar Ham stores and get the price comparable.

Why? It's priced as a disposable radio. If you are wanting a quality device that will last you years and years maybe consider something else. This is a good intro radio until you decide this hobby is worth sinking some cash until.

I had the same problem... this description is not accurate - there are only 2 radios.

Well that's not cool. Don't get rid of the radio if it works. I have several of them and they work fine including the chargers. Maybe they gave you a charger for another radio. That's unfortunate, but can happen. Just purchase another charger and you should be fine. So instead of $50 for a radio you now will pay maybe $65. Good luck to you.

No fees. As long as you have an open wi-fi connection, you have endless stations available. You set it up through reciva.com. Very simple. Also will play music files from your computer. Love this radio. I use it every day.

This may not have been an authorized dealer or was a refurbished / used radio. The manufacturer, Kaito, has established a minimum advertised price commonly referred to as MAP. The MAP for this product is $79.95. If you see a lower price you will want to make sure the warranty is valid and you are buying from an authorized delaer.

It may never go down. It just seems like they keep going up. They're MUCH cheaper on eBay. I got mine for about $50 the other day on eBay. Just keep your eye out! ;)

Keep hitting refresh through out the day, I was able to get 2 of them at the $376 price. Both days I was able to purchase one it was about 5:45 p.m., not sure if its a coincidence. But keep trying.

I've notice that, too. Looking at buying a receiver and all of them seem to have this rate. Is it perhaps sample size? Most of them seem to have less than 100. Sometimes I wonder if the negative stories are real. But in one case I trust the person and the review is real.

I just purchased this radio and it has been dropping the wifi signal as well. The network signal shows blue so I'm assuming from miket's post that there is a problem with the radio connecting to the squeezebox network. Funny thing is though I have a squeezebox boom as well and it never has problems connecting like this one does. I think there is something wrong with these radios and from the reviews I have read it seems to get worse over time. I think I will send mine back as well and just get another boom.

Unfortunately it is. I just pick out a couple of favorite stations and go with that. I like the local sports station on AM, but it's tricky to pull in. I think the problem is mostly in the antenna. I believe some users have come up with some type of amplifacation . The radio case is quality built, don't know why Dewalt can't figure out their customers want "quality" in radio reception as in their tools.

I turn it up either on the radio or the device it's connected to...I went threw two of those thing your best bet is to get the expensive one from Walmart..it's like 20 bucks i think and it's lasted me awhile!
