Check your facts. E.g. Funkwerk sells its TRT800H for 1931 Euros (tax
not included), which translates to $2324 at the actual exchange rate.
I'm too lazy to look up all the other brands which I mentioned earlier.

I'm pretty sure the TRT800H isn't available in the USA; here, the Trig
is the best price for a Mode S.
