A genuine radio shop.
For more than three decades, Associated Radio has been where Kansas City hams buy their gear, swap stories and get straight answers.
Operators helping operators.
Associated Radio started with a simple idea: amateur radio is better when you can walk into a store, put your hands on the equipment and talk to someone who actually uses it. That’s still how we run things from our shop on Conser Street in downtown Overland Park.
Dan, Joe and the crew sell new radios from Icom, Yaesu and Kenwood alongside antennas, coax, connectors and power from dozens of other manufacturers. Behind the counter is one of the deepest used-equipment inventories in the Midwest — everything from modern SDRs to Collins and Drake boat anchors.
Whether you’re building your first mobile install or chasing DXCC from a full station, we’ll help you buy exactly what you need — and nothing you don’t.
