I have just had a troll around some sites and I think it will be nearer £3000 by the time you get software and radio :y

Ahh, well I didn't say I was off to get my cheque book. Anyway, buying one off the shelf would be no fun. I'd like to build one, and develop the control software. Hmm. I wonder how many I'd lose while debugging it? ::)
