This is my first post so hello to everyone. I hope I put this in the right forum. I need to fine some where to buy my radio stuff here in or close to Ventura Cali. Frist I orderd a Imax-2000 for my cb base and shipping was the same as the antenna :angry: so did not get it but still want it. And now I will be getting my tech lic so I want to get a ic-7000 or a Yaesu ft-897d but would like to see them in person first. I hope these are good radios for a first timer.
