Have you thought about buying one?
I picked up my Ericcson R290 for under $300

Yeah, I had given it some thought but we would only need it once a year at most, easier to hire.
Had thought though about buying one AND renting it out when we don't use it........

How the **** did you get one for under $300! I rang telstra and they said they were $1900!!! If you got it second hand, where did you get it from! - Jo

The R290's are poorly built, have bad batteries - I wouldn't recommend buying one.

Never had any problems with my R290 over the past 2 years. For $300 to %500 cant really go wrong.

Brian - I've had great service from Landwide Satellite Solutions - an advertiser here on EO.
John Booth is a great bloke who looked after me very
well when I needed one a few months ago.
His site is at
http://www.landwide.com.au
I believe that he is one of Telstra's biggest agents.
PS - I have nothing to do with his company - other than I found him to be great to deal with.
Cheers
Chris

Brian,
Try calling Opposite Lock
Mildura.
They post the phone to you and then you post it back.
Cheers
