They really have some stiff competition as of late. The Wouxun dealer in TX has a private-branded 2-watt dual-band HT for $70 now. Two of those and a small home-brew controller would make a pretty good cross-band repeater for a balloon. Mine was $149 ($158.95 w/shipping) from R&L in July. Shipped same day order placed and delivered next day. |

FT-60R worked great through Irene
Newer member here, but an FT-60 owner since I got my ticket in '05. I'm in SE NC, and weathered Irene just fine. The trusty Yaesu got me through another storm, and I was in contact throughout the night with the local EOCs and other HAMs. Sure was reassuring. When the power went out and my old Kenwood TS-930 wasn't on the air anymore, the little FT-60 HT stayed online and on air. Thanks Yaesu!

Re: FT-60R $174.95 at HRO!
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThere is no doubt that the Chinese radios are putting pressure on the HT market to reduce prices for basic HT's, like the FT-60R. So far they seem to have had no real impact on higher end radios.

antenna, programming software & cable, and bought a fast charger and an extra battery too. What I really like is that I can use the programming software to sychnonize all of the memory setting and stations on my FT-7900 and FT-60R. Pete - KD4CQZ -----Original Message-----

What I do when shopping for radios, antennas, etc.... is set up a spreadsheet and get the price / shipping for each item from each vendor. The lowest total price wins my business -- unless they don't sell everything I want. And it isn't always the place with the cheapest radio price that has the best deal. Ham City -- http://www.hamcity.com/ How about we just list all the ham radio stores rather than recommend the ones we are connected with ? Amateur Electronic Supply? Austin Amateur Radio? Burghardt Radio Repair? GigaParts? Ham Radio Outlet? R & L Electronics? Texas Towers? Universal Radio Inc? There. ?Now pick whichever one you want. ? If I missed anyone, please add it to the list. |

My preference is Ham City -- since they usually have the cheapest RT Systems programming packages and factory accessories. Even though they charge shipping, generally it works out cheaper if you buy everything together. > $149.95 at R&L But R&L also charges shipping. |

Re: FT-60R $174.95 at HRO!
Some vendors charge more for the radio, other vendors charge more for the accessories. ? Figure out your out-the-door price for the whole package including shipping. ? It rarely makes sense to buy from two different vendors as any savings will be negated by extra shipping charges. ? Also, it's a good idea to work with a vendor who can quickly replace your radio should you be unlucky enough to get one that is DOA or quickly develops a defect.? Over the last 25 years, I had to send back two radios for exchange. ? 73, Nick, AA3T ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Nailling" To: FT-60@...
