I have to second that one. I have yet to buy from anyone but THE SHACK. Accessories are another matter, however. I do have one bit of advice: Do your homework and know what you want beforehand. The salesmen there are nothing but Sprint pitchmen. :evil:

I would have to agree, Radio Shack easy to get in and out. Ham Radio Outlet is another good place. An online location that seems to have competetive prices is www.usascan.com .

Like I said yesterday: I have never heard of these guys and all they have for an address is a P.O. box and that always puts a stop sign up for me.safetyobc said:
http://www.bearcat1.com/ is another good place with people you can trust and great prices.

EBAY for expensive electronics is a MAJOR STOP SIGN

Like I said yesterday, I ordered my BC 246T from them and I am getting mine two days from now.

My favorite electronics store... www.lentinicomm.com been dealing with Alex and the gang for a number of years, and they've always done the right thing by me

You can run that STOP SIGN :wink:
That is The Hobby Stop, owned and operated by "Mr. Scanner" himself, Norm Schrein. Who also happens to edit and publish National Communications magazine
If ncessary I can give you directions to the store located in Kettering, Ohio. As matter of fact Norm offers a cash discount on most items bought at the store or one of the many hamfests he sets up at.

I also agree 100% that the people that work at Radioshack are more trained to sell you a sprint phone then tell you 1 feature a scanner has or anything else for that matter.I always know ahead of time what I am going in for and if they dont have it I walk right on out. I asked them for a oem battery pack for a pro-92 and what did I get?A guy offering me 3packs of 4 double A's for 10.00. :? :?jbstahr said:
HAM STATION....
I've had a FANTASTIC experience with Jeff at the Ham Station in Evansville, Indiana. He is more than willing to track down information -- and his prices are right. First class service. I'm still enjoying the 296D which I bought from his store.

I know there address is on the site somewhere. I needed it for a trip I made there for my 780 when they first came out. Anyways they are aka National Communications (yes the magazine). I think we can all trust Norm Schrein when buying a radio.
