I'm calling Motorola even as I type this to find out a good value. Please hold....... I just talked with the product engineer for Motorola on the phone. He was reluctant to quote a specific price, but he said he thought they were about $50 in 1000 quantity, so it sounds like your number is lots better than my original one. I need to call the local field office to get a 'real' quote. I'll let you know what I find out. >Eric L.
