If you are making reference to the 4 scanner retailers that I linked to in my
post #40, none of them are a "fly by night outfit randomly pulled up from a google search." They are all very reputable retailers and I have personally done business with each of them in the past. FYI Universal Radio has been in business since 1942 and "You-Do-It" Electronics (located in Needham, Massachusetts) has been in business since 1949. I don't know about you but I don't consider a retailer that has been in business for 70+ years to be a "fly by night outfit."
