Good advice unless you happen to get stopped by US Border security on the way out and they ask what you bought. You will lose your radio and possibly get a small fine and a stay out of the US card valid for a few years. The radios are ITAR controlled, and those rules are also enforced up here. In fact, the US has specifically asked us to hang someone out to dry on an ITAR infraction so they can show their claws. Unfortunately for Canada, they tried it on the wrong guy and while they did manage to ruin his (and his daughter's) business which resulted in a sizeable award against the government.
Best bet is to find the radio here, and if not, then do the ebay thing thru Isreal. Toying with the US rules can be dangerous and expensive.
