ICOM M36 VHF radio deal

I finally have a VHF, and it's a nice one. I was looking at my options and came across a deal I couldn't pass up. This model usually cost $199 at West Marine. I found it at Hodges Marine on-line at $161.99 and then there's a $30 mail in rebate. I know most of us hate rebates, but that does bring it down to $131.99. That's a smokin hot price on a good radio.


Click on the "add to cart" button and you'll see the lower price.

I wonder if they improved w/ this problem...?

That's odd. I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for sharing.  But I didn't see the rebate?
