ive heard lots of good reports on this reciver i am actually hoping to pick one up when i get over to the states early next year any operators now of any good locations were i can get a good deal on a 2970 dx not to sure were i am going to be heading for a vacation early next year but any feedback on this radio and also prices would be gladly appreciated thanks
 

buy a 2950dx and buy an external amp. more power, less cost, easier mounting options.
 
Well, great radio for sure and it would be a exellent choice. The Magnum S9 and new Galaxy 94 are tough radio's as well.
 
Prices will vary from shop to shop, and even from location to location. The market dynamic in the US is very varied due to the wide range of user distribution. For example, I've found that prices in the midwest tend to be higher than they are in the south-east.

As far as specific prices, that radio will probably cost you in the very general ballpark of $500 US, including a proper tune-up and a full synthesizer alignment.
