Yes, I bought a Yaseu handheldd from Avionics West. I called up to
confirm that it was new and ready to ship; got a cheery woman who
assured me it was. I said okay, I'll go back online and order it. She
said no need, just give me the information, so I did. It arrived in
the customary time and was indeed in its original packing, all
warranties applicable, etc. I'm still using it on a weekly basis (it's
my only radio).

(Before I ordered, I asked here for experiences with Avionics West,
and did get a couple, both positive.)

all the best -- Dan Ford
