My favorite shop in 100 miles, have known the owner for nearly 13 years, love to buy old electronics and scopes. Lots of parts and new things. Great selection of tools and cables.

I have dealt with Richard several times over the years, and he always goes above and beyond to make the customer satisfied. In March, he held the first sidewalk sale, and I was able to trade in a radio towards one that Ive been wanting for quite some time. Nothing beats this kind of customer-service, and youll be treated like family at MTC.

The store was smaller than I expected but they had just about everything I needed. And I got a great deal on a new radio that beat all other prices Ive seen. Customer service was great and friendly as well as knowledgeable on the products. Ill definitely be stopping by again and ordering online again as well. Its nice to deal with people that understand the questions youre asking and know what youre talking about. They definitely seem to know the products they sell!

There is no better place on the planet to buy Amateur Radio Equipment at discount prices. Richard and Christy are the finest people I have ever done business with. All my ham radio money goes to Paris Texas!

I definitely will be back here if I need any HAM radio items. I called and asked about a charger for my handheld. When I went in the store I asked again if they had any in stock. The lady helping me asked if I was the one who called earlier and already had it pulled aside for me. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I recently called and spoke with Birdie such a wonderful lady. I also spoke with another lady with excellent customer service. This is such a great ham radio shop where they truly help the ham enthusiast. Customers are treated like family!! I made a purchase and hope to do business with them again in the near future.I highly recommend them for all your ham radio and electronics needs!VinI like to update this review. I called again for an antenna and Chase assisted me with a purchase. He recommended a Jpole antenna and, without seeing it, I purchased it.It arrived a few days later and I was extremely happy with it. The antenna was very well built. I highly recommend MTC for all your ham radio and electronic needs. They treat you like family, not just a customer. See Chase for those difficult questions and needs!Vin

Needed to overnight a package and they serve as a remote Post Office. There is never a line here. Besides having lots of electronics (feels like Radio Shack) they always call me by name. Nice people.

Ive bought a couple of radio through this company they have always helped me if I had a question and they didnt know the answer they would find out the answer I drive trucks and could not get down in there to pick a tuner up so they met me on the loop and delivered it to my truck thank you very much

Review №21

I ordered a icom 7100 from them and all went well, then when I moved to Alaska and ordered an icom 705 it went downhill. When I paid for the order on their website, the shipping was free. They charged my account right away for the purchase even though they did not ship the radio or even intend to honor the terms of the purchase which had no disclaimers on their free shipping. They wanted me to pay for shipping before they would send the radio that I had already paid for!A classic bait and switch. I was upfront with my mailing address, so this company needs to be upfront with the costs before I pay the bill.

Finally got to the store. What an AWESOME Crew inside. Worked with Steve, and he got me the best HF radio for my price, and needs! Got my rig, and telescoping antenna mast. Need to upgrade my license before I can talk on it, but it sounds fantastic! Wife found a Weather Station that was easy to set up, when we got home.Have ordered several items from them, and arrived quickly! Strongly recommend these folks for your needs. OUTSTANDING Staff!Thanks Steve for letting me use your expertise, and getting the best equipment!

The best store in NE Texas if you are looking for basically any commercial or ham radio equipment. They also have a selection kinda like radio shack back in the nineties but with more digital, but also the analog stuff.

Made my first purchase of a TS590SG from Main Trading Company about 2 months ago. They were very quick at getting the radio shipped out. Very pleasant to deal was and the price was the lowest around at that time. I would certainly do business with them again.

Review №80

I can not say enough good things about this company and its management. When I heard about the Wouxun radio, I started searching on the internet to buy one. I came across Main Trading Company and called them. I placed my first order with Richard the owner. Not only did I get great pricing but the customer service was excellent. I later had questions on equipment and his staff was always very courteous and knowledgeable. I later sent some ham and scanner equipment to trade up to a new Icom 51a. When MTC received my equipment, they called me the same day and processed my order. They gave me a very fair price for my trade-in and I ended up paying only $92 and change for my new radio. These guys really know how to take care of business. A giant thank you to them and their staff.
