If anyone is looking for an antenna analyzer, this is the one I use. It's pretty handy and does more than I need. This is a good price for it. I think I paid closer to $450.

I can't vouch for this one, but it's a more reasonable price. The Pro goes to 600MHz and this one goes to 500MHz, which is really no difference for amateur uses.
If anyone gets one of these, this case looks to be a great bargain. I wish they had these when I bought mine.

Doubt it. People buying and using bfengs will pay the $5-10 more before spending $100+ on a good radio.

Hams are notoriously cheap

Any radio that costs $100 will leave you wanting one that costs $500. Any radio you but for $25 is amazing for what you paid for it!

Cool. I have never so much as seen one. I just remember when new hams could get them for free from time to time.
QRZ offers a discount program to new hams with these radios, I didn’t end up purchasing one but I think it was like $40 through this program.The Explorer HT at Gigaparts is on sale for Hamcation. $20 off with the promo code: ORLANDO

Today's sale item at R&L is the Chameleon 25' whip. I'm real tempted to get it, but I already have a 17' one.

I just ordered the 25' from them on Tuesday for a Pota Dominator antenna build.

I'm interested in how that works out. 25' will also get you 1/4 wave up to 30m. I believe it's also good for a Rybakov antenna that has some popularity recently. Walt (K4OGO) is the first place I heard about it, and it shows up in his videos fairly often.

This is $25 cheaper than the sale prices at other outlets.
