Best sources for Starguide audio cards, new and used.

[FTL_Ian]

Hello,

I host a syndicated talk show, and our potential affiliates are frequently asking for us to provide Starguide III audio decoder cards to them so they can carry the show. Recently we've had some extra money coming in to where it's now possible for us to provide these cards. However, they are expensive!

Luckily, I found a used one at radio-classifieds.com and snatched it up for $350.

Either these are not easy to come across used, or I don't know where to look (besides ebay and radio-classifieds).

Any ideas as to where I could grab up some more used, working cards?

Also, in regards to acquiring new cards, I know of two sources so far:
Starguide and NSN. Starguide wants $750 for a new card, NSN wants $683. Are there other sources? Are the cards available with quantity discounts anywhere?

Thanks for your help!
Ian

Try calling the big networks, ABC, WW1, Preimere (or whatever the hell they are this week). They might be willing to part with some.

Is there more than one manufacturer of audio cards? Any competition?

Thanks!
