[FARC] Would you approve...

Josh, I tend to agree with Joe about HRO.  While lowest price is certainly a 
key factor in a radio purchase there are other factors to consider.

Ham Radio Outlet (HRO) is especially good about returning defective or 
damaged products, of which I had two.     I received a damaged and defective 
MFJ antenna analyzer and a defective West Mountain Rigblaster Plus digital 
interface from HRO.  Both times I returned the units and got new replacement 
units no questions asked.    Sometimes products are damaged in shipping and 
sometimes they're just defective manufacture so it's something to consider.

Additionally, HRO in Woodbridge VA. will get your in-stock radio out to you 
probably within 2 days so you can't beat that.   It's also a neat little 
store so I recommend a visit if you're ever down that way.

73 and enjoy that radio
