1st HT on order, finally!
Well I did it m, not the text, that’s on the 24th.
I ordered a Yaesu FT-60R from Associated Radio @ $159, also ordered the Diamond Antenna and AA battery pack.
Out of stock everywhere! I think DX engineering was ship Feb 1st, to me that means out of stock, they had best price @ $154, HRO I think was $169, out of stock.
Hopefully it’ll arrive around the time a pass the exam.

Re: 1st HT on order, finally!
Got a reply from associated radio FT-60 out of stock like everywhere else. I canceled order.
Even btech not accepting order. Seems to be a high demand on the affordable HT’s. Amazon jacked up the price on Btech UV 5x3. Maybe I look for an FT-65.

Passed Tech this morning. Got a radio, Alinco Dj-VX50T, RT systems programming software, but still waiting to see my call sign in DB.
It’s ok, I’m used to waiting, I was in the Navy.
