[OZAPRS] Best place to get a D-700A ?

[Chris Hill]

Hi All,

OK, I've finally decided to get a Kenwood D-700A...  but have now
discovered
they are almost A$1400 list price, and seem to sell for approx A$1200
each.

Ouch! (My budget was for less than A$1000).

I was trying to work out the best place to buy one, by searching on
google,
and I see that these units sell in the US at "Gigaparts" for US$495, which
is A$727
(See http://www.gigaparts.com/parts/radioinfo/zkw-tm-d700a.php)

Unfortunately, Gigaparts doesn't seem well setup to ship to Australia (US
Postal Service seems to charge an arm and a leg for postage to deepest
darkest Australia), so suddenly this isn't as attractive as it first
seemed.

So my question to the list is : "Where is the best place to buy a D-700A
from, for use in VK6?"


Thanks in advance for your insights!
