Hi Haiko

Thank you so much for useful information. Unfortunately AR7030 isn't much
cheaper than in Europe, at least, the difference is not worth the
complications (110 V, duty, transportation...).
Anyway, thanks.

Hi Peter,

try a search at the Boston Globe Yellow Pages:

      http://www.boston.com/search/#keyword

I did not specifically watch out for ham stores, but do not
think there is much on offer in Boston. Perhaps you might
want to mail order it and have it shipped to your hotel.

Universal Radio has it for $1399 (see
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/commrxvr/0777.html),
and so does Grove (http://www.grove-ent.com/RCV17.html),
with shipping and handling within the US included in the
Grove price.

Also, helpful in terms of general interest might be the
Lonely Planet Guide:

Third - and striclty off topic ;-) - if you are into books,
I can highly recommend Bluestocking Books. Mainly used and
rare, about 5k volumes.  A relatively small store run by a
friendly and warm - as far as I can remember - former
literature teacher at Boston College or so in her 40ies.
Made some good findings each time I went there. Address is
164 Prince St., Boston,MA 02113, and phone is (617)
227-2075. Its located in a byroad up in North End, right in
the middle between former Boston Garden (now Fleet Center),
the bridge over to the Bunker Hill Monument and Old Granary
Burying Ground (very nice, right on top of the hill, packed
with Revolutionary War tumbstones and a very nice view over
the Coast Guard site). Try http://www.maquest.com or the
like for directions, or feel free to contact me.
