Good Deals and Good Times -The Ham Radio Swap Meet

摘要

One of the greatest places for good deals on ham gear is the swap meet. Depending on what part of the country (or even what country) you live in, these ham radio buying, selling, and browsing events happen indoors or out, and usually at regular intervals. Recently, my friend Tony found and bought a very clean and functioning microwave frequency spectrum analyzer (Photo A) at the local swap meet. When the unit was current, this instrument was worth about $100,000 - certainly not an affordable test setup for the garage or basement ham workbench. But today, Tony was able to get it at much less than 1% of the price. This was truly an amazing deal.
