Posted by aGlock4u When you find one that is old and used. Really.. the prices are so high because the manufacturers have to license the vocoder in each unit, which jacks the prices up. I have seen estimates that the licensing cost (per unit) is about $150-200.

DVSI licenses IMBE at around $30 per radio. Of course, the company itself has to "buy" the codec which is untold hundreds of thousands of dollar.
