I think this is because of the recent decline in the Euro vs the USD. Becker USA prices in US dollars.

Previously, the Dittel FSG2T listed several hundred dollars higher than the Becker AR6201- 25KHz version. The FSG2T lists at 1410 Eur, but a few years ago, that same 1410 Eur was closer to 1800 USD compared to the AR6201 in the $1600-1700 range.

Now for those of us in Canada all the radios have gone up 30% in price over the last few years as the CAD has lost value as investors move into the "safety" (?) of the USD.
