Need VHF radio by Friday

Does anyone know a place as close to Boston as possible, that sells VHF radios at a good price?

Not sure how close that is to you though.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

I prefer the local guys but recently BW or West (Dedham) had the Icom M-502 on sale for $249 which is a great radio at a good price

John,

The guy's in Braintree (west) know me by name. Same with Monahan's Sometimes it's just convenient to do the web thing.
Also my old grandad told me not to spend all my money in one place

Wjm - I actually like buying stuff on the web too. I just like doing things with the local mom & pop, whether Internet or brick & mortor shops, than with the chain stores - especially West & Boaters World and their typically HIGH pricing...

And yes, I like consumers
