Yeah, I had to deal with them at cadets as well. When they worked, they were excellent, when they didn't, painfull!! Pity i'm not in cadets any more, I just got 2 brand new units of the vehicle antennas (4.5m ground to tip mounted on the vehicle) that can work with the 77 set, would have been great for a base radio.

I've not seen many Australian units anywhere specifically, but they have been available out of the US for a while.
