Yo,
I recently bought the MCPT 78 from Kollman Radio, along with a slug of
other stuff. The price was around $33. They also listed the prep tool for
the 1/2" hardline also which was around $24.
They shipped out the gear rapidly and everything I ordered was in stock.
I have no interest in Kollman Radio other than being a very happy user who
had what I needed.
73 and I remain,
Lew W7EW
