News Flash - Tucson, Az. The Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Corporation (TAPR) announces the greatest sale in Packet Radio History! The same TAPR TNC kit that has previously sold for $240.00 is now available in limited quantities for $160.00 !! That's right, $160.00. Now that outside production of the TNC is assured, we can move on to other things. TAPR is shutting down the production line on this product, and wants to clear out its parts inventory. Recent reductions of our costs, volume buying, our success in turning production over to regular industry, and the desire to clear the decks makes it possible to offer the same high quality kit at this rock bottom price. We'd like you to help us get clear of the manufacturing aspects of this product as soon possible, which is why we're making these available at a give-away cost. Our software and other support activities for the TAPR TNC will continue unabated. Quantities are extremely limited, so call the TAPR office immediately at (602) 746-1166 to get your order in. TAPR is an R&D oriented organization. Our goal is to prove the packet concept and convince mainstream manufacturing organizations to produce packet equipment. Now that AEA is producing an assembled version of our design, Heath is producing an exact duplicate of our kit at high volume prices, and Kantronics is producing a unit running our software, we feel it's time to move on and push out the edges of technology again. We're sure you can't find a comparable packet controller at this incomparable price. If you've been sitting on the fence, now is the time to join the packet radio revolution! TAPR will have a major presence at the Dayton Hamvention again this year, with participation in several technical forums. Many of the volunteers serving as TAPR's R&D staff will be present at our booth, and we'll have lots to talk about. Be sure to stop by and help chart the future. ----------- PS, there are less than 95 cabinets for the kit TNC left. NO MORE WILL BE MADE! So, if you've been waiting to order one, now is the time. There will be no reduction in the $70.00 price on this item, since our cost already exceeds your cost. Any TNC orders processed on or after 22 April 1985 will be shipped at the new price. A shipping and handling charge of $10.00 will be added, as will the 3% credit card service charge if plastic is used. At a total cost of $175.10, delivered, you won't find a better deal anywhere!
