Wanted to bring this post from social media on how it appears that the TYT folks are "Fixing the Price" on the upcoming release of the Tytera 2017.....If indeed this is the case, I will NOW WAIT TILL THE RADIO IS SUB $100

Radiosification: Price fixing and the TYT MD-2017
KN Posted the following which I can not take credit but do agree with him 100%...
"Let's L00K at this for a moment....a company makes a widget and they sell it for $100. OK..the dealer needs to make SOME profit for his legwork. Thats established. But it now looks like TYT makes a few dealers "Exclusive"..then tells other dealers to buy from these dealers! So dealer #1 makes his cut, and dealer #2 now adds HIS cut. TYT limits the availability of said product, while spiking the demand for it (its called prick teasing).So in the end WE ALL pay for this **** and TYT laughs all the way to the bank, as well as dealer #1. Dealer #2 has a rough time and remember both dealers get stuck with DOA and problem products.See how the MD-380 now sells for $79.....let TYT sit on this **** for a while and quit playing games.My "take" on this....in the USA highband DMR is scarce...98% of it is on UHF, no real need for a dualband DMR.No big rush here to aquire a TYT.I would simply buy from another company or wait till TYT quits playing the "Pyramid" game. THis is why I want nothing to do with this CHICKEN$&#% company."
Purpose of this post, is for people to voice their opinions on PRICE FIXING! Hopefully these messages will be seen by TYT and see that they need to rethink that strategy. Cause I surely wont be spending my money till the radio is sub $100.
