====== Where To Buy Ham Radios ======

===== Amazon =====
If you are getting into the hobby, Amazon has a wide selection of Chinese radios. You have to start somewhere, and the barrier to entry is low.

===== DX Engineering =====
[[https://www.dxengineering.com/|DX Engineering]] is my go-to online retailer for Amateur radios. They are a part of Summit Racing and are rumored to ship from the same warehouses. Great selection of equipment all around. If I'm going to spend money on the hobby, this is the first site I go to. 

===== GigaParts =====
[[https://www.gigaparts.com/|GigaParts]] has a solid selection of radio but also a wide selection of "other" stuff that makes it unique. Custom items, computer parts, and gadgets are some of the many things GigaParts offers. 

===== Ham Radio Outlet =====
[[https://www.hamradio.com/|Ham Radio Outlet]] has multiple locations around the US, and you can go into the store if you want to put your hands on some equipment. I have ordered several radios from them, and I've always had a good experience.
