I just received the following sale via an email from Ham Radio Outlet:
All of these are great prices, but I’m especially attracted to the SDRplay RSP2 for $139.95 and the CX-210N for $29.95. If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing an RSP2, this is the lowest price I’ve seen for one.
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Ron, who is a fan of longwave DX and notes that HRO has a Heros Technology VLF/LF up-converter on consignment/used. Ron mentions that the $140 price tag is quite a bargain for customers in the US market. Ron notes::
Here is a Link to the User Manual with pix of inside and some very cool videos of it in action:

And here is a Link to the one at Ham Radio Outlet:

Thanks, Ron!
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Ken Hansen (N2VIP), who notes:
Ham Radio Outlet has the SDRplay RSP2pro in-stock for $192.95.
As a reminder, the SDRplay RSP2pro is the version enclosed in a full-metal case for maximum RF shielding. Like the SDRplay RSP2 it has three software selectable antenna connections (long wire and two SMA), whereas the original SDRplay RSP1 has just the one SMA connector.
The Grundig Edition Field BT

Thought you might be interested.
Thank you for the tip, Ken!
I’m very curious if anyone has compared the Grundig Edition Field BT with the previous version of the Grundig Edition Field. Please comment!
We’ve been posting holiday deals since before Thanksgiving. HRO seems to be extending some of their special pricing through December 12, 2016.
The Eton Traveller III
I did notice that, among other discounts, HRO has the Eton Traveller III for $49.95. Not a bad price for a great little portable!
The SDRplay RSP2
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Ken Hansen (N2VIP) who writes:
HRO stores are taking delivery of the new SDRplay RSP2, and having a great deal on the original SDRplay RSP, now on sale for $119.95.

The SDRplay RSP software defined radio
Yesterday, after SDRplay announced the new RSP2 software defined receiver, HRO included the original RSP (the RSP1) in their holiday “Pre-Sale Specials” and lowered the price to $119.95.
An excellent bargain in my opinion! Many thanks to intrepid SWLing Post contributor, Robert Gulley, for the excellent tip!

The Icom IC-7300
Also, many thanks to Dave Zantow who notes that HRO has also included the Icom IC-7300 in the same sale. The IC-7300 price is now $1299.95. Also an excellent price for such a full-featured general coverage transceiver.
