Does anyone know of a dealer in the Dallas/FT Worth area that has various
shortwave receivers on display? I am looking on a step up from the DX-398
and was looking at the Grundig Sat800. I would like to see it and purchase
from a local dealer.

Thanks

Hello Jim,

a couple outlets in Texas.

away:

Fry's has a few, the Sat800 included. Tucker (mentioned in another post)
used to have a nice retail store, but closed that maybe 7 years ago. Texas
Towers caters mainly to hams, but may have a few "consumer" SW receivers.

There is a new Fry's right down the road! That is great news! I will check
it out tomorrow. The Plano one could be a good find also.

TT will occasionally stock these sorts of things, but IMO, their biggest
advantage is the consignment table. Keep an eye on it, and you can get
some pretty darn good deals from time to time.

On rare occasions, ISTR Tanner's having had some SW gear laying around, and
Electronic Discount Sales over in Irving runs an occasional bit of
used-but-working gear.
