Thomas: the original (not Elite) Eton Mini is on sale for $26.00 shipped from Amazon.com right now. The price for this radio has been around $30-33 in the past few months. As I’ve said before, I like the mini. Nice functional little radio.

Thanks once again for the tip, Christian!
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Mario Filippi (N2HUN), who shares a find in the QRZ.com online swapmeet: Talking House Broadcasters.
If you’re not aware, Talking House Broadcasters are AM transmitters that were designed to be used by real estate agents so that potential customers could drive by a house on the market, tune their car’s AM radio to a specific frequency, and listen to a pre-recorded message.
I’ve also been to ARRL Field Day sites where a Talking House Broadcaster was used to relay information about the Field Day activities to visitors.
Of course, I would use one of these to broadcast my own music and Internet radio streams throughout my house. If I didn’t already have an SSTRAN AMT3000, I would snap one of these up in a heartbeat!
The AM output power is FCC Part 15 compliant, but with a good antenna/ground, you might be surprised at the signal’s footprint!
The seller currently has three working units he’s priced at $25/each or $50 for all three. Even as used units, this is a fantastic deal!

Assume if the link above is broken or missing, the items are all sold. Thanks again for the tip, Mario!
The daily deals site, Woot, is selling a five pack of BaoFeng UV-5R HTs, each with charging cradle, earpiece and programming cable for $94.99 US. Not a bad deal as you can outfit you whole ham family for a mere $19 per radio!
Woot clearance deals like this one last only one day. At time of posting, this deal will only be available for 17 more hours or when supplies run out.
Amazon Prime members get free standard shipping.
The BaoFeng UV-5R is a super cheap radio, but is quite durable and has a massive ham radio user base.

Many thanks to Paul Jones with ELAD who notes that they have a couple promotions running at present:
I just received a newsletter from C.Crane noting that they’re having an “Orphan” sale today (17 January 2020).
“Orphans” are C.Crane returns and open box items that have been tested and evaluated by C.Crane. Orphans are sold at a discount and carry a full 60 day warranty. I’ve purchased a number of Orphan items in the past and have never received a dud.
One of the best deals I see in their list of Orphans is the CC Skywave SSB for $119.99–the lowest price I’ve seen for this particular unit.
