I recommend checking out Ham Radio Outlet. They typically have the best prices. I have bought from DXE and Gigaparts. DXE has great support, Gigaparts not so much. I like HRO. YMMV.

I've used HRO, GigaParts and DX Engineering with no real complaints.  The Atlanta HRO store treats the current flu strain like it's the Pneumonic plague so I have stopped visiting their location.

HRO since they opened a NH store decades ago plus I go past their current location twice a week on the way to/from Wally World.

Gigaparts a few times including two 4.3" screen nanoVNA's

DXE NEVER! I dont like some of their policies.

I bought a Daiwa antenna switch from DX Engineering that had a bad position. I called them on the phone and had a new replacement before I even sent the bad one back.

I have been impressed with the speed HRO fills orders and delivers quickly.
I grew up going to AES.  They always had a great selection of used radios.  I would come in with a list of small parts (resistors, capacitors, etc) and they patiently collected them for me.  I was happy to hear that HRO stepped in and there is still a ham store in Milwaukee.

All of my stuff comes from AES in Milwaukee. I think I will give AES a call right now & place an order. I hope they throw one of their magazines in with the order. If AES doesn't have what I'm looking for I will call one of the stores along "radio row" in NYC.

Nice to know that you woke up from that cryogenic sleep OK.   ;D

Received the latest Allied Radio catalog yesterday.

When I was a little kid, it was the Sears Christmas catalog that I looked forward to receiving.

Then, I hit my teenage years and I lived and died for the Allied Radio catalog.  Somehow, none of the catalogs I get today match the joy I got out of perusing the Allied Radio catalog pages.
