Forty years a ham. Zero patience for overpriced radios. He finds the week's best below-market deals and tells you, in plain English, why each one is priced right.
Elmer's first video: never pay more than 75% of a radio's fair market value. Why that number covers your selling fees and leaves profit — and how buying right carried his family through 2008.
Four from this week — Icom IC-7300, Yaesu FT-817ND, a Second Look at the Yaesu FT-950, and a vault pick, the Yaesu FT-8900R — each one clearing the around-25% bar, introduced by Elmer. A new compilation lands here every Sunday evening.
In ham radio, an "Elmer" is the experienced operator who takes a newcomer under his wing — answers the questions, shows the ropes, keeps you from making the expensive mistakes.
That's exactly what this Elmer does. He's the friendly face of Ham Radio Bargains: a wise old ham who's bought and sold more radios than he can count, and now spends his time digging up below-market deals for the rest of us.
No hype, no jargon. Just forty years of knowing what a radio is really worth.
Seventy-threes.
