    Don, what are you planning on using it for? Might want to look into a 999 since it has built in GPS and no need fo external antenna. Ones I have seen for sale seem to be priced right about same as 998 which requires antennas for maps.

    That makes sense, since you already have your antenna installed if you could find one for the right money you could still use a 999 and plug up your antenna to it. And for right now I think those are still covered under birds repair program.
