Advanced Specialties Inc. — Local services in City of Long Beach

I called Advanced Specialties Electronics after browsing their website and told the owner what I was looking for.....He replied that he had a particular Yaesu transceiver in stock that is popular with trainbuffs......a Yaesu FT270R.....so I drove down and visited the showroom.

The owner answered my questions regarding the transceiver and showed me some accessories including upgraded antennas and fast chargers and I purchased some of those along with the radio.

I was in and out in 15 minutes or so.......and pleased with the service I received......There are not too many businesses out there geared specifically to scanners and amateur radio equipment.....I did an online search for Yaesu dealers and found only 5 or 6 dealers within a 250 mile radius of where I live with only two of these within 40-50 miles......Advanced Specialties also does business online through its website and ships orders for those unable to visit the showroom.

The owner mentioned that he has been in business at that location for over 20 years.....I spoke with other trainbuffs after my purchase and they recommend him as well as they have purchased radios and equipment from Advanced...
