I bought a new radio from Universal Radio
and got a radio that didn't work and was a
return from a prior sale.

THe people at Universal Radio restock used
radios and sell them as new.

**** UNIVERSAL RADIO, I will never do business
with these crooks again.

Not bad, 90% approval.
Sounds like they can be trusted to do a good job.

LOL. I have a similar experience to Tom's. Why go with an
apparent "90% approval rating" when you can go with a 100%
approval rating, i.e. try Grove Enterprises or AES.

Not your Kaito KA1102 I hope!

Sanjaya_49:

I bought the Kaito 1102 from Grove
Enterprises, I bought this radio
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/wx/4489.html
from Universal Radio. The packaging
had been tampered with. THe radio
was restock and a return from a
previous sale.

Universal Radio sells used and/or broken
radio gear as new, **** THEM!!!!!!!

I would like to get some opinions about
Universal Radio, Inc., located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

My reason for asking is they seem to never ship on time
and always have to back order, sometimes taking 30 days
or more to back order.


I've had similar experiences. You are told the product is in stock
until the order is completed, then they tell you the item is
backordered.

I did want to test a Ten-Tec RX-340 there, and when the lady who
answered the phone asked someone else if I could test the radio, she
was told, "hell no, that's a $4000 radio."

So I drove to Ten-Tec and was given free-reign to play with the radio.
I bought one, from Ten-Tec, two months later.

All that said, Universal is kinda the lesser of two evils in the
shortwave supply biz. I look elsewhere when I can, such as Ham Radio
Outlet or one of the myriad national mail-order scanner shops.
