There is nothing more satisfying to a CB'er than a trustworthy dealer.I have a few who are exceptional in the quality of thier work and sales.I won't list them in any particular order as they are all equally qualified as the best radio dealer.#1-Copper Electronics,Louisville,Ky.#2-Freeman Sales,Lexington,S.C.#-3 Don's CB Sales & Service,Erie,Pa.There are more but these stand out as exceptional in all areas.

This has been a paid .... just kidding I ben lucky only one place a supplyer of crystal radio parts in dearborn mich has outright stuck mefor over 100 dollars and outright refused to deal with me ( you can find him on the internet but he no longer takes creid cards... wonder why). I can hounestly say Copper, HRO, ALF and RANDL all give good service and prices. AES is on my POOP list for what they did to the hams of tampabay.

ONLY $325.00!!!!!!! he called R&L later and they told him theyd give him 550.00 in the cond it was in sight un-seen....

No copper ...just joking this is why i buy from copper and r&l and alf and hro see AES blew it if they had bought the store then made it a AES store to replace the clearwater store they closed a few years back no one would have cared BUT the man who ran the tampa store was well liked and did a fair bussness so it was a bad move on there part hey do me a favor e-mail me and let me send you a copy of the 23 ch doc i digicam the frount page of the public notice and the letter i got from the fcc id be happy to send you a coppy

thanks

In addition to Copper,I have found Rich at CSV Electronics in Buffalo N.Y. to be excellent. I discovered him on Ebay (csv1801) While I was just starting to get back into this radio thing. I needed a new antenna and for not alot of money he started me off. Places like Copper and CSV make this hobby a pleasure again. Now if we can just get rid of the filthy mouths out there............

I have gotten the best prices and the best service from Copper's for my CB equipment. For my amateur radio needs I deal with R&L in Hamilton,Ohio for the same reasons I deal with Copper's, great service and low prices!

I have purchased onley three times from Copper and have never been let down. Shipping is very good, they carry quality equipment. I have never had a problem with them. I see no reason to go anywhere else, unless of corse they do not carry a certain product that I am looking for.
Just my two cents worth.
