Check Ham Radio Outlet (HRO) they seem to have consistently lower prices than
AES in my experience.

I've been following this forum for quite some time and am now in the "pre-
purchase phase" for the FT817. If any of you are from the Wisconsin area (or
Chicago, for that matter) are there any good swaps coming up where one can get
a good price (such as what was seen at Dayton) on the FT817? Barring that, is
there a good, reputable retailer who has a price that'll beat AES in-store of
$770?<BR>
<BR>
I'd also be interested in a private purchase, but I've heard that the warranty
is quite restrictive; only the initial purchaser can get any work done under
warranty (and in a retail purchase, one needs to give their name and callsign
to complete the purchase). Yes? Or would the reliability of the radios be such
that I need not worry about this?<BR>
<BR>
Also-having not been a active ham for over 15 years, and having followed the
comments here, I'l like to know more about the whip antennas that have been
bandied about here. I'm hoping to use a whip as a pedestrian mobile, but
for "hom" use I'm just going to stick with simple dipoles for
12M/15M/17M/20M/40M until I can get a good HF vertical. <BR>
<BR>
Comments and help appreciated!!!<BR>
