I would like to get some opinions about
Universal Radio, Inc., located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

My reason for asking is they seem to never ship on time
and always have to back order, sometimes taking 30 days
or more to back order.

Rusty in Louisville


I've ordered from them before and never had
any delivery problems.

Backorders are usually a function of the leadtime
from the manufacturer (all of them are in Asia)
and not the dealer. This issue cannot be helped.
It's the nature of supply vs demand.

Of late however, I've been ordering from
Texas Towers http://www.texastowers.com/
for ham related items and also Grove Enterprises
http://www.grove-ent.com/ for SWL items.

Both of these Dealers above were able to get me
a better price on a given item in several cases of
purchase over the quoted price from U.R.
