DX Engineering

[jdchet]

After living out here in the Buckeye for almost 5 years I finally walked into DX Engineering in Talmadge, Oh. yesterday! With all the China Virus restrictions over the last 2 years the store usually wasn't staffed. Well I needed some coax so I decided to go and check out the store. First you have to walk through Summit Racing. That is a neat experience, especially if your any kind of "motorhead"! Walk in the small store, toward the back of Summit and there's a couple of hams shooting the breeze by the counter and to the right is a collection of new ham radios all lit up that made my wallet hurt! Struck up a short conversation with the guys at the counter and had a good time. Got my coax and went about my business. BTW their coax is top notch and it's real nice to be able to ride 10 miles down the road to pick it up when I need it.

Haven't been to the store, but I have to agree with you JD on the quality of DXE's coax. Seems well made and still in great shape after 5 years of weather. Easy to work with.

Just leafing through the catalog makes my wallet hurt.

I agree, their coax is top notch, so is their service and customers support. They usually have interesting topics on their YouTube and Facebook channels on Tuesdays as well. Living in SE Texas, and with an Ham Radio Outlet being around the Dallas area I can get next day delivery via standard UPS ground, and both of these stores beat the heck outta Gigaparts, so I give DX 99% of my business, and the other 1% to HRO.
