Hi, This project is a good match for my background because it requires careful technical research and validation rather than simply collecting company names. My approach would be to verify each supplier individually, checking that they genuinely deal in used RF and test equipment instead of acting as generic brokers. I would also confirm contact information, physical location, warranty policies, equipment grading practices, and the types of instruments they regularly stock, while avoiding any suppliers on your exclusion list. For each supplier, I'll provide: * Company background and specialties * Warehouse or business location * Verified contact person, phone number, and email * Notes on inventory (Rohde & Schwarz, Keysight, etc.) * Warranty, return policy, and equipment grading * Supporting references, and where applicable, an exterior company/warehouse photo if no official website exists I value accuracy over quantity and will document the source of every piece of information so the directory is easy to verify and update later. One quick question: once you provide your existing supplier list, should I focus exclusively on independent U.S. dealers, or are manufacturer-authorized used equipment partners also acceptable? Best regards, Patrick
