[ForSale-Swap] Best Kept Secret - Radio Parts Store in Tampa Bay

[n6lrv at cox.net]

Power poles are readily available from http://www.powerwerx.com/ and their prices are among the lowest. They also carry the OEM 'T' shaped plugs and recepticles common to most Japanese made VHF/UHF transceivers, the 6 contact connectors used on many HF rigs, and the specialty power plugs used on some transceivers like the FT100's.
