Re: FT-60R $174.95 at HRO!

Rick, I don't think it matters where you buy. Most Amateur Radio dealers (the reputable ones anyway) provide excellent customer service. Most have been around awhile and will try their best to keep you as a customer. Yaesu is also a very good brand of radio (IMHO) and they also have very good customer service. I bought my FT-60 from HRO and they even helped me program it with a few repeaters while I was in the store. That's just my 21/2 cents worth. Good luck on the test and let us know how you did. ?

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
