A super store with essentially all needed ham related items and knowledgeable friendly staff.

I guess you need to be an electrical engineer to get any help. Im a new ham so I dont know all the proper terms. Both times I brought examples of what I needed and both times they just shrugged their shoulders and suggested I try someplace else. Then I got online and saw the exact item in the catalog and saw that it was in stock at the Atlanta store.They do have great prices and selection but I wont be back in the store again, Ill just order online or order somewhere else.

Good inventory, but customer service could use some work. Walked around for 10 minutes, only one customer in the store and two employees. No one ever asked me if I needed assistance and when I went to go ask for assistance another employee that I was walking to walked off after they made eye contact. Was about to purchase a large antenna for the backyard and a quite expensive radio transceiver set. I decided to purchase from another location due to this experience. I know the ham radio hobby is an older person dominated arena, but to be outright ignored because I was slightly younger than the average ham radio customer is all too often disappointing experience in this hobby. Oh well, plenty of ham radio distributors online.

This is the Ham Superstore. The only real place in Atlanta for Amateur Radio Operators to procure items necessary for the craft locally. I will be back there today for COAX connectors...

I was helped out by James B. Courteous and knowledgeable, he helped me pinpoint a small grounding issue I was having with my Atas-120a.The radio art is a constant problem-solving and experimentational experience. It’s great to know that some advice or parts can be attained with just a short drive rather than waiting two or three days to receive something in the mail. I am happy they are around. 73, NO4W

Always a pleasure working with this team, I called recently because I wanted an Alinco switching power supply. They didnt have any in stock, but there was another store that did. They had it shipped from a store with inventory to my QTH in just a few days. Wonderful! The employees are very knowledgeable and their inventory is substantial. If you want to just sit down and try a transceiver, its a wonderful place to do so. 73

A few days ago I called and a sales person was very rude and did not care to help me. I then called the TN store and without knowing James answers the call at the Atlanta location. He said he was located in Atlanta. He was extremely patient and willing to help me with my radio needs. He explained all my options and Im purchasing a radio.Please ask for James he is extremely patient and willingly to help.Vin

Walked in this morning to find neither workers behind the counter wearing a mask, yet they told me I had to have one on to shop there as they scrambled to find one for themselves. Pathetic display of hypocrisy. I’ll be ordering from GigaParts from now on

This is a top notch operation. Called at 4:30pm to order and the UPS scan showed they shipped out my item within 30 minutes so it got here the next day. Packed well. I love the corn starch degradable packing peanuts. They usually match prices and know about what theyre selling and very helpful.

Franchise does a nice job of balancing a brick and mortar operation with an online presence. Ive found that HRO offers prices that are either competitive or superior to online-only outfits. The local store staff can be seen at the HRO booths at many local ham festivals. The staff know radio and are always helpful.

They are very knowledgeable, experienced and attentive. I would recommend anyone who has an interest in getting a ham radio license, or a GROL licence, or any periodicals and study manuals about the industry. Antennas, radios, coaxial wires, you name it they have it.

Ok if you absolutely need something today and dont care how much you pay for it. One of the employees was being rude and disrespectful to an older employee while I was there. I prefer to buy online from other companies for better selection, lower prices, and to minimize exposure to unprofessional staff.
