On the other hand, maybe they're simply cleaning out stock for the publication of their next catalog... Bob k5qwg The story given by emplyees here is that they have dropped all HAM band equipment and have no plans to get any more. Most of it was relabeled Japanese gear anyway, so why not go to HRO or one of the other mail order shops for it. I actually buy most of my equipment at hamfests. With six per year within an hour's drive, I get quite a good selection. I hang on to business cards from the displays in case I need something in between. It helps to keep the better dealers interested in the 'fests. Bob McConnell N2SPP |
