I was down in Anaheim about 8 years ago. I had to stop by HRO and say hi. You remember me? I'm that guy from Portland who bought the Nagoya 771 antenna... Anyway, it was great to stop on. Friendly store.
Nice video. I was just in the Anaheim store this week and bought a radio from Bob. He was super knowledgeable and they had lots of inventory of all products. I will be back to buy more products in the future.
I live in the midwest so most of the stuff that I order comes for either Denver or Plano. However, I had to make a trip to CA a couple of years back for a funeral and had the opportunity to visit the Anaheim Store. Unfortunately, the strip mall was having their roof redone and HRO had to remove their antennas so radios could not be demonstrated. I did end up buying a Yaesu FTM-6000 and RT Systems programming. Great staff. I didn't see the gentleman that helped me out.

I used to visit the New Hampshire branch once in a while mostly on the way to Maine vacations. Cool place. I no longer live in New England, so I can only go to a few hamfests now. Sigh.
What a super Ham store, if I could find my way there, I would be in ham radio heaven, I would be trembling in anticipation of what i could spend my money on, there's only one problem that stops me from visiting any Ham Radio Outlet store and that is I'm in England QTH West Bromwich, IO92AM , and the call is G7POG, A good down to earth presentation , then angain we do have similar stores in UK but your store is SO big anyway thanks for sharing a/nd best 73's to you all over the Pond, Mike
@@KutWrite Thank you. MFJ had many great and innovative products.. We're lucky that other companies, like OPEK, have stepped up with excellent quality, affordable alternatives to many of the products MFJ used to make.
I thought Julian was going to go into the Borat scene at the coax display and ask Jeff, "And what is this?...And what is this?...And what is this one?...What is this?"
I was at that HRO store last January 2024 to buy the MFJ 9339 auto tuner along with my wife and sister. The guys there were so accommodating. For those looking for your ham radio peripherals, within the vicinity, give them a visit. 73 de DV7SKY
Yes, we sell scanners. However, many (most?) police and fire departments have moved to encrypted, spread-spectrum, trunked systems, and there are no scanners that can decrypt those transmissions. Air band (private and commercial ATC etc) is still sent in the clear. Go to our website (www.hamradio.com) and put "scanner" in the search box at the top of the page.
It be nice if he could do a video with his Willis in a Matt's off road recovery video he one of the top guys on RUclips and lite Brite Nation he could demonstrate a HF Radio in a cellphone Dead spot
I bought a ameritron 811 from the Milwaukee store online and it was the worst experience ever. Received a defective amp, went back and forth with Greg the assist manager, had to return the amp. Never got a refund or a replacement. I can’t get anyone to call or email me back. Terrible customer service to say the least. Now I’m out $1523. I will never do business with them again!
@@lawrence1md Never got a refund or a replacement? Doesn't sound right! Send me an email with your name and order number. Let's get this sorted out. email address removed (remove spaces and use @, of course).
Why does it seem every amateur radio operator I meet does such a crappy job installing their radios??? Wires everywhere, crappy mounting brackets... It looks terrible and not functional... My radios in my Toyota Tacoma you can't see one wire. Radiohead's mounted properly in a functional spot. Looks very professional...
I am have serious OCD about wiring. I absolutely hate messy wiring. Mine looks like it’s a factory wire harness in my vehicles. Even the wiring on my ATV, SxS , motorcycle and tractor is super clean and all hidden in wire loom and probably secured.
WHY, are the Andersons NOT on the back? All base stations radios have the power fittings on the back. I bought my power supply from Samlex unit, just for that reason! We have all of the wires hidden in the back, so WHY, would I want them running to the front of the unit?
Not sure what you're talking about as this video doesn't show power supplies... but, no radios from any of the major manufacturers come with Anderson connectors on their DC power cords. They all come with bare wire. For base station radios, where they are rarely moved, the power cable is usually screwed into the terminals on the back. If you need Anderson connectors on the back, cut a short length off the supplied DC power cable and make a short jumper cable with bare wire that screws into the rear terminals and put Anderson connectors on the other end. "Problem" solved. The front Anderson connectors are for powering auxiliary equipment... like when you want to test a mobile radio... but can also be used for more permanent installations too.
I've passed your store on Buford Hwy near Atlanta many times. Never stopped in. But I will after seeing this post
I haven't been to the Anaheim store in probably 10 years! Doesn't look that different. Thanks for sharing.
30 years for me!
Great job guys and thanks for all those radios purchased through the years of service.. 73 de Ira

I always have had good experiences in there. I have found everyone helpful and nice.

Great place, great people! When I was moving out of OC, they sold on consignment a bunch of my equipment I needed to get rid of.

I assume this is the old Henry Radio store I visited in 1977 whilst on holidays. VK3ART
You assume correctly Russ!
OMG I wanted to hear that truck start up! Cool tour though.
Wish they would come to the cleveland area, miss AES in wickliffe, and you need to carry more 10 meter stuff

We are not, and have never been AES. We also did not buy or take over the AES business. Thanks for your comment.

Sir, do you have Yeasu FT-8900R ?
@@vu2bbe250 We so not have the FT-8900R, sorry.
Why cant we get a ham store in Indianapolis

@@HamRadioOutlet thanks..
thank you

where can i get parts
555, 1k ohm, solder...
I would suggest Amazon, Digikey, or Mouser Electronics. Ham Radio Outlet does not sell parts at the component level.
I remember when HRO wouldn't touch Heathkit. Period!

In Cambridge , Kitchner (Canada) Ham Radio outlet store ?
