[SOC] 6146b's and other assorted stuff

[Dan W. Dooley]

Yes it has been a question.  Not so burning that I lose sleep at night over
it though. LOL.

I can't think of a real drawback to the store as a reason why they would not
have a Web site.  I've gotten a lot of stuff from them.  For anyone not
familiar with them, they're more like a warehouse than a retail store in
layout.  In other words, they're not "pretty" like Best Buy or a store of
that kind.  They have a lot more stuff though.  A much wider variety of
things and it's not all computer related.  Tools, parts (hardware such as RF
connectors, etc.), test equipment and yes, ham radio equipment.  Not a lot,
but some things and Kenwood and Alinco products.

They're not always going to have the best prices but many things will be
very competitive with on line sources.  The old adage to "shop around"
applies.
