It would be good if you were more specific in your needs.

For HF Communications there is Karera Communications Pty Ltd 3 Leonard St Hornsby NSW 2077 ph: (02) 9477 5999 who are the CODAN brand agents in Sydney.

If it is anything else your choices are limited, Dick Smith or Tandy (same Woolworths brand) with little assistance or knowledge, Boating centres or places like ARB. Or you could try Lake Macquarie Communications. http://www.lakecomm.com.au/ a bit out of Sydney but a good range.

mate i dont know what you are after but I have found in the boating electronics I buy ALL from overseas. Especially the US stuff is dirt cheap. Tons cheaper more models to choose from and if you buy the "better" brands it doesnt break anyway.

I dont know if its the same with car electronics ? GPS, UHF ? You have to be a bit more specific in what you are looking for I would say.

Cheers

Andrews communications at greystanes is very good. He is a little disorganised but does good prices and carries all the good brands. He fixed me up with a megablaster uhf aerial, seems pretty good sofar

Try Metro Communications at Rockdale, whiz fitters carry aerials RFI & GME also sets, a bit old fashioned but know their stuff.

Also out west at Kingswood, Action Communications RFI, GME & ICOM these guys also are very good.
