Does anyone know of a dealer in the Dallas/FT Worth area that has various

from a local dealer.

Thanks


Fry's has a few, the Sat800 included. Tucker (mentioned in another post)
used to have a nice retail store, but closed that maybe 7 years ago. Texas
Towers caters mainly to hams, but may have a few "consumer" SW receivers.

There is a new Fry's right down the road! That is great news! I will check
it out tomorrow. The Plano one could be a good find also.

TT will occasionally stock these sorts of things, but IMO, their biggest
advantage is the consignment table. Keep an eye on it, and you can get
some pretty darn good deals from time to time.

On rare occasions, ISTR Tanner's having had some SW gear laying around, and
Electronic Discount Sales over in Irving runs an occasional bit of
used-but-working gear.
