       I also got the DAK catalog but have never bought	from them.

       To try and get an idea of how  their  prices  compared  with
       other companies,	you might compare:

	  o+ their "Thought  Compressor	Plus"  Soundpace  C-5  tape
	    recorder  ($129 + $4 p/h fee) with the Radio Shack ver-
	    sion VSC-1000 ($119).

	  o+ their  Maxon  49S  "Think  Speak"  VOX-operated  walkie
	    talkie  ($49.95  +	$3 p/h fee) with the same unit from
	    National Tower  Company,  in  Shawnee  Mission,  Kansas
	    ($39.95).	Oh yes,	DAK's claim is amusing:	"The system
	    operates on	49 MHz band using FM, so you  shouldn't	 be
	    bothered  by  any other radio transmissions, as you	are
	    with CBs and Walkie	Talkies."

	    Actually, these frequencies	are shared by other  walkie
	    talkies,   toy   remote   control  cars,  and  CORDLESS
	    TELEPHONES!

       Nice catalog, but shop around.
