They have always matched or beat HRO prices. Sometime waive shipping on big items and DO NOT CHARGE SALES TAX in Texas as they have only one location and that is in Alabama. They have excellent customer support and No, I am not a paid spokesman for them. 73, Ron, K5HM <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.qrz.com/db/k5hm> www.qrz.com/db/k5hm Excelsior!

Guess things change rapidly per discounts. As I recall the person wanted a hi end tuner so they marked it as close out discount and shipped it. maybe someone got a hand slap at HRO for doing that 73 Bill WS5H ----- Original Message ----- From: Ravi Ratnala via BVARC <mailto:[email protected]> To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2015 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [BVARC] HRO In Plano Grand Opening [sales tax] FYI - I was about to click "buy" on a new radio from HRO, and decided to take Bill's excellent advice and ask them if they would offset the newly-imposed Texas sales tax with a discount. I noted my active membership / participation in ARES, SKYWARN, etc. in my request. They responded very quickly, as always: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I am sorry. sales tax is required by law for those in Texas now that we operate in Texas.

If they do or not for what you wish to buy it's worth asking.
