Hi Folks,<\/p>\n
Just an update on the 40% discount event for the XHDATA D-220. That promotion is over (many thanks to XHDATA for offering us this exclusive discount!), however, Amazon has a 15% discount<\/a> for the radio, and the Black version<\/a> is a couple dollars less than the Orange, which brings it back down close to the 40% discount we had.<\/p>\n Personally, even at full price, I think the radio is a steal, but that’s just me.<\/p>\n Looking forward to the contest this weekend (thanks Jock!) – should be a lot of fun!<\/p>\n Cheers! Robert K4PKM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Folks, Just an update on the 40% discount event for the XHDATA D-220.
