You have to shop around, and ultimately keep an eye on eBay, the good deals don’t last long @SteveCh, so check a few times each day, I got the Roger On, via eBay for, £299, seller was a cash converter store, came with all the cables, and the docking station, managed to get another Roger X (type 03) for £89. I had one already for a Roger Pen, I got a got a couple of years ago, in comparison to the Roger On, the Roger Pen is woeful, my first Roger X was £375 from Boots, I was robbed
If you are buying your Roger X from eBay, you have to check with the seller, some early versions won’t work with Marvel or Paradise aids, so please make sure the serial number is above 1744, before you buy! It’s better to buy Roger X (type 02) though, they are more expensive, again check the serial number, but the Educational (02) work with all Roger devices, but at £600 a pop new, rather extortionate! I have 3 (02) receivers now, plus 2 x (03) bought a pair of (02) for £400, and the 3rd was a snip at £56 and it was only 6 months old, the Phonak retail packaging comes with a manufacturer date stamp…
you will need a Phonak A.uD to install the Licenses into your Marvel or Paradise aids, I have this installer myself, it’s called a Roger Installer, takes about 5 minutes to do this…. I got the Roger Installer from eBay in Korea for around £160, counting postage, but the price has gone up since then! Tis a bit of a faff to get all the gear, and expensive, patience is a virtue, but once you know what you are doing, and what to buy, you are good to go, and kinda future proof, I have 3 sets of aids, 2 x Marvels, 1 x Paradise, I can swap my Roger X receivers around, unfortunately you can’t mix them, by that I mean (02) in one aid and (03) in the other, technically you can, but I believe they will only work with one aid? I think I read somewhere the Paradise aids have 2 slots in each aid, one for (02) and 1 for (03)? you can easily uninstall the Licenses back into the receivers, then reinstall into a different set of aids, to me it was a no brainier to get a Roger Installer, although you have to keep updating notes of what is where, but each License can only be returned to their original Roger X…. Sounds slightly complicated, but in actual fact it’s a fairly simple process…. Good Luck in your quest Steve…… and thank you @Baltazard …. Cheers Kev
