For those interested in ordering from a top-notch, quick-shipping outfit
that offers ham radio and scanner gear, the fastest and best customer
service I've ever had is through gigaparts.com. I'm not affiliated with
them in any way; I am just a satisfied customer, and I believe in giving
credit where it's due. They bend over backwards to securely pack your order,
ship it quickly, and any questions you may have are answered in a timely and
friendly manner.

Along with ham radio equipment, they offer a number of handheld
scanners/receivers from Icom and Alinco, as well as the Yaesu VR-5000 and
the Icom R75. Their stock of scanners is not as wide-ranging as Universal's,
but I can attest to their service.
