Seems like I ruined someone's day.  Hate to see anyone get their underwear
bunched up over this so let me apologize and clarify my original post.

Its $200 for a two way link and that is if you have to buy everything.
If you have the spare FM radio receivers and cables etc, it is 
considerably less.  Hope this helps.
