Well later on as I was older and wiser, plus I had a better job, I started started thinking more seriously. I myself bought a Kenwood TS2000, which is a $2000 . Of course I injured my back, was out of work for about 6 months and ended up in bankruptcy. The lawyer remarked what kind of radio costs that much money. What I have learned later is that there are items that are not as expensive made by places like Mfj. The items I have work just fine and have never failed.
So the best places to find good prices are generally Amazon and Ebay. Amazon tends to be new Ham Radio related items, while Ebay tends to be mixture of new and used Ham Radio Equipment. If you are interested in these places, you can click on my link for my website Ham Radio Outlet At Amazon. You will find on Amazon that places like Ham Radio Outlet, Mfj and Gigaparts are just some of the main ham radio websites that sell through Amazon and Ebay.

There are many other brands of Ham Radios that are no super expensive. These would be brands such as Icom and Alinco. So my best advise is to shop around at Amazon and Ebay. Look for the best deals and best ratings as well as reviews.
