There used to be a lot of radio stores in lower Manhatten, but I
believe they mostly disappeared around the time the twin towers were
built for the WTCenter.

You might go to Google and do a search for "ham radio + Manhatten".

Given the tax structure, with a 3% NYC sales tax on top of the 5% NY
state sales tax, many retailers of large ticket items have relocated
outside the boundaries of NYC.

Same thing here in eastern Mass, where many retailers are located just
over the border into "tax free" NH.

============
Your best bet would be to place an order with a major outside of NY
City dealer such as Ham Radio Outlet www.hamradio.com and have the
order sent to your address in New York City. The Delaware store
should be able to get it there within one or two days via United
Parcel Service, plus, on orders over $100.00 there is no shipping
charges added.

I would also recommend KJI Electronics in NJ. You can see their website at
www.kjielectronics.com. Very well priced, major Icom dealer, but can get other
brands on order. Call to arrange. They are about one hour out of New York City.
Advanced Specialties mentioned by others is more local, but doesn't have the
selection that KJI does.

I will second this suggestion. I've dealt with all the local retailers
and frankly nothing will beat HRO's prices, no tax, no shipping
charges and never a problem to deal with. I have ordered from both
stores, but I prefer the New Hampshire location personally - though
the Delaware location is equally pleasant.

I will *never* deal with Barry Electronics again, by the way. I felt
totally slimed going in there. The one time I did venture down there I
was being ignored in favour of a customer of apparantly middle-eastern
origin who wanted to buy "a fleet" of Icom VHF amateur radios and was
asking to have them modified to "transmit anywhere." He was also
asking about "secure scramblers" for them. While that was bad enough,
the clerk was giving him pricing for just that. This was all before
9/11 and if I'd remembered the exact date, believe me, I'd have
already contacted the authorities about it. It was sometime in the
spring of 2001 - that's all I can remember.

When I finally did get around to looking at the radio in which I was
interested, their prices were about 25% higher than HRO plus NYC
sales tax on top of that. Needless to say, I waited till Dayton and
bought there.
