VHF radio

Hey guys,

I need to score a new VHF for the boat.  Does anyone have a link to the best deals around?  My 27meg is buggered so I believe I will need a new VHF antenna too as they are different.

Have seen some icom radios in USA website for $140

May I ask which site you

May I ask which site you ordered it?  I know I should buy in Australia, but in Karratha it will be $300 more than USA.  If I buy from Perth, postage plus the increased price will still be $200 more than USA.  Thats a lot of boat fuel

 Oh, and did you order antenna from usa too?

just bought the GME GX600 from Whitworths. $199 + $22 postage to K-town. Arrived in 2 days. Hard to beat I reckon.
