I have been dealing almost exclusively with Gigaparts over the last couple of years. Their combination of price, free shipping on many things and excellent customer service sold me on them.

I am new to the group and, in fact, don't have my license yet. I take the Technician's test in 8 days. I've been studying with HamTestOnline and found it an excellent learning experience. I'm a retired electrical engineer so at those parts of the test will be easy. After I receive my call letters, I plan to buy my first radio.
I am in the market for a FT-60R so visited each of the sites noted to get the current price. This is what I found:
Amateur Electronic Supply
???? $154.95???
Burghardt Radio Repair?
? don't sell?
GigaParts?
? $154
Ham Radio Outlet
???? $150
R & L Electronics?
? dead URL
Texas Towers?
??? $159 + s/h
Universal Radio Inc?
?? $153 +s/h
So it looks like Ham Radio Outlet has the best price although plenty of other vendors were very close. What about customer service?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
