I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place but this is for reviews. Has anyone ever bought a grab box from H&Y Electronics? Was it worth the money? I have a birthday coming and am thinking about asking for one. If I said a exact thing I would get it from this person but I kind of thought it would be nice to have a total surprise. I'm not asking what was in it just is it worth the dollar amount they are selling it for? I figured if there are things I don't want or need I could easily get rid of them.
 

Reminds me of the old pull knob candy machines that has a "?" for a selection.

Maybe you'll like it, maybe not.
 
i tend to agree, the one time ive ordered from coppers nearly everything was junk. the coax had a short about 40 feet in, the right angle pl259's were garbage because they were shorting as well. the shipping was really high. honestly i would order from ebay before coppers/ hy again.
 
Proof, evidence?

Let's see...both are located in Louisville, Ky......both have similar simplistic websites........both are awful when it comes to customer service. When H&Y first started up...they were supposed to be the wholesale part of Copper Electronics. They are owned by the same family, that should do.
 
That is true father and son I also remember hearing that in the early 2000s or late 1990s the son had both companies and damn near ran HnY into the ground so the old man I believe his name is Charlie took it back over.

HnY back in the 1990s was refered to as "The backdoor to Copper" meaning it sold amplifiers and such as Copper did not ;)
 
Those of us that have been around for a few years may also remember when Copper and H&Y had the same street address as well. The phone numbers were different but the address was the same.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
