How we don't have a thread about this I don't know.

Here's one for starters: 20% off Chameleon antennas. They're pricey gear but well made.

In the spirt of the thread, there's a few radios left over from my uncle's estate, some new in box, others used but loved. These radios are not in my possession, but I can help facilitate their purchase.

Hey Guys. It was an interesting afternoon on Friday. Be watching for a scratch and dent sale coming soon. No one was hurt. If someone would have been standing in that spot of the store yesterday it would not have been good. Lots of product was damaged. Lots of boxes were damaged too. We will be working with insurance companies next week hopefully to figure out what to do next. It is very possible there will be some deals. Be watching your inbox and social media www.mtcradio.com I have ordered from them in the past. They are a reputable company. ​

 

[ToddDubya]

Oof, guy must have heard about the Baofeng deal and sped right over to the wrong store.

Because what I need is another band I'll never use. Trying to hold off.

there are very few 220 machines in my area...in fact none within 50 miles of my home. I have a couple of 220 rigs and a few antennae and they're just sitting in boxes in my barn. I may start selling them off.

 

[ToddDubya]

I'm pretty sure Greylock has a 220 repeater, and I wouldn't be surprised if two guys use it.

For all you cheap bastards who won't spring for a real Pelican case, this cheap case is even cheaper. I got one today. If the sale is still going this week I'm probably getting another.

Regular $40, 30% off is $28.

For some reason I was eyeing the TYT 220 rig again today. Reviewers either love it or hate it. I'm trying to drum up some interest with a few guys at work with marginal success. The only real taker really just wants me into SSB/CW, not FM, so I can be a rover for VHF+ contests.

I opened the aperture a little and am looking at the Alinco as well, for about 2x the price. If I make it to Marlborough this weekend I'll keep an eye out for something to mess with.

Unless someone with a few to unload wanted to unload one/them.

If anyone is looking for a 2m mobile rig, this is the best price I've seen on the FT-2980 in a long time. $169.95 at HRO.

I have the one that goes to 1500 MHz. It is a phenomenal piece of equipment. Most recently, I got to use it's TDR functionality to find a break in my coax connection to one of my HF antennas. Enter info on the velocity factor, etc and BOOM, instant readout on how far down the break is.

 

[ToddDubya]

I've got the something Stick Pro that does up to 600MHz and it's great. The app stopped working which really sucks, but it works fine with the laptop so I use that now.

I'll take these at 80% off

That's the right use case for that. You have no excuse not to buy it now.

Yeah, you right. I will just put it next to the lightbar in the garage for my winter projects.

I ordered one last time you posted their sale. It is a neat radio, small in size, perfect for a SXS installation.
