I don't think I would call the Stryker 955 disposable. I would actually call it very reliable and serviceable if you send it to a tech who can, and knows how to work on new technology. There are quite a few out there. It's like modern cars. There was a day when I could and would do most of the mechanical work on my car, but you won't find me under the hood today.
I think I would rather have a 955 vs either of my two old school radios that constantly need attention. But I do understand where you're coming from.
