Options For Radios?

I know of two:

GoFlight VRP-166
Opencockpits Multiradio

Both of them seem to be nice pieces of hardware, although I have no direct experience with either.

Does anyone know of any other options for radio hardware, short of custom building? (ie, plug and play stuff)

There are a few out there, elite is one example:

But goflight and opencockpits are the more cost effective ;)

Hahaha... pushing $3000 for that? I'm sure that's an awesome piece of hardware, but my budget doesn't (and probably NEVER WILL) allow for such things. I am probably going to go with the GoFlight radio, along with one of the 8 pushbutton panels to interface with it to allow the one radio panel to function as every radio I could need in the cockpit. I can get that for $350 (ish) from GoFlight's site, as opposed to $2695 from Elite, and get pretty much the exact same utility out of both.

Thanks!

I run 4 Goflight VRPs for my radio stack.
