1st HT on order, finally!

[Jbones]

Well I did it m, not the text, that’s on the 24th.

I ordered a Yaesu FT-60R from Associated Radio @ $159, also ordered the Diamond Antenna and AA battery pack.

Out of stock everywhere! I think DX engineering was ship Feb 1st, to me that means out of stock, they had best price @ $154, HRO I think was $169, out of stock.

Hopefully it’ll arrive around the time a pass the exam.

Off Topic

NON Sponsor? whom is the sponsor that sells radios right now? just a question??

[Jbones]

Got a reply from associated radio FT-60 out of stock like everywhere else. I canceled order.

Even btech not accepting order. Seems to be a high demand on the affordable HT’s. Amazon jacked up the price on Btech UV 5x3. Maybe I look for an FT-65.

It’s ok, I’m used to waiting, I was in the Navy.
