To be fair to Martyn, it's possible he bought the radio from Universal.

From what I've seen of Universal's used prices I kind of doubt that Martyn
could make any money and might even lose money selling.

Anyone who would purchase anything
from either Radio Mart or Universal is
a fool.

If Universal wasn't honest in describing used items they sell
folks
would be talking about it just like they do with Martyn.

Most of the complaints I've heard about them center on their on
line
ordering system - apparently if you want it quick, you should
phone in
the order.

I haven't ordered much from them, but I got good service.


Same here. Never had a problem with Universal. If I were looking
for a new radio
or accessory they'd be the folks I'd be ordering from.

I also like the fact they run dxing.com - it's a handy resource.

Interesting that you'd mention that as I was just over there looking
at old boatanchor
sets.

You too, eh? Much nicer than the original used receiver book
that Fred had put out; covers a lot more boatanchors than
that one did.

I've had good service from them too over the
years, and never any complaints.

Oh great, now you tell me after I have already bought several radios
from Universal. The fact that I got the radios at a good price and that
they were delivered on time still makes those transactions foolish. I
guess the good service I got from Universal means nothing either.

why do you say that about universal ? I prefer Grove but universal
isn't that bad.

What? Universal has always been a class act and great service to the SW
hobby.

Me too. That's who I've made all my major radio purchases from in the past
and have never had any trouble at all with them. Next time I buy another
new rig it will be through them.
