Just so everyone knows, The Hamvention and the QSO party are now over, but I learned that there are a number of vendors out there with some great deals.
One example is Gigaparts....They are offering a NEW YAESU FT4XR DUAL BAND ANALOG HAND HELD, with LI-ion Battery pack, Fast charger (3.5 Hr). 5 watts output and 200 memory channels... and 3 YEAR WARRANTY... for $74.95...It has a 5 - 2.5 - 0.1 watt settings which makes it nice for ALLSTAR hotspots.
Then they have the FT-65-R for 79.95 a bit older dual band 5watt Handheld.
Only bad thing is they have a $100 minimum for free shipping.. But still great prices. Yaesu has a 3 year warranty on all their stuff..
