Richard;
I bought one from PCA @ $719.00 a few months ago. First was DOA, Debbie at PAC Next Day Air-ed one to me to replace it!
Alas; it lasted one hour!
Turns out they had a bad run from Lowrance...( it happens; don't get me started 'bout JVC...)
...on the 4th one Debbie said they used it for 6 or so hours both on the ground and in the air and again sent it to me NDA!
The point of my posting is not to disuade you from the L-2000 (I LOVE mine and the -1000 before it...) but to applaud the folks at PCA who went above and beyond what I consider normal for a retailer to get me a working unit! I couldn't imagine getting a bum unit off FleaBay and getting the same service...(I distribute and work on Electronics for my meger living and I know service when I see it...or not...)
Happy Lowrancing!
