    WHY
    Because I had time to troll.
    Will probably/eventually get an Icom,at the moment I have lots of other places to spend the coin
    Lots cheaper than the fitted price that was mentioned.

    But your Ebay price is $490odd plus $15 shipping vs Prestige is $416 delivered.

    Fitting and aerial is extra for both.

    So why would you be looking at the ebay product.

    unfortunately SWMBO isn't keen on spending that much on a radio, so at the moment it is none rather than buying a cheap unit

    I've got an older gme tx4xxx.

    The backlight doesn't work, so its a pain to use at night, but it's yours if you want it.

    Thank you very much for the offer and yes I will grab it, my mobile number is 0424642162 if you want to give me a call so I can catch up - compare notes, crawl all over each others landies and grab the radio

    Bee Utey is the only other Adelaide based AULROIAN that I have met down here so far and really looking forward to meeting more of us.
