FT-60R $174.95 at HRO!
|
Wow ... The Yaesu FT-60R is just $174.95 this week at HRO - hamradio.com !(*)
Clnt Bradford, K6LCS (*) -DISCLAIMER - Yes, I USED to work at HRO. Have I made a penny from HRO since leaving three years ago? Nope. Is there any "commercial incentive" for me to write this message tonight? Nope. Well, I might get a few more folks to join in one of my live "How to Manually Program your FT-60" GoToMeeting sessions - but that, alas, is an expenditure for me. SO ... If you're in the market for a solid 2M/440 HT, this is an incredible price for the next couple of days! |

$159 at Texas Towers + free shipping

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@...

Closeout pricing implies a new model is coming out. ? Or, are the Chinese radios causing the prices of all radios to come down? ? 73, Nick, AA3T ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John" To: FT-60@...

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.

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-----

开云体育There 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.
