Afternoon all,
Does anyone know where to get a god deal on a Codan NGT
HF Radio?
I'm on the Central Coast, so
Sydney is fine.
Thanks

Blue,
I recently traded my 8528 in on a new NGT as I was have a few issues with it and had lost confidence. I wanted something reliable as it is my lifeline when out in the bush. I bought it from
Lake Macquarie Communications which is at Gateshead just south of
Newcastle.
Doug who runs the business is a good guy, active 4wd driver and has a lot of experience with hf radios. I was very happy with the deal I got which was better than the others I tried, besides I like to support good helpful people.

The NGT is a great unit, worked first off with my existing 9350 autotune aerial and gave a much better signal than the 8528 when I did a radio
check with the VKS737 base in the Alice from
home outside
Sydney. It is a smart system and has many features I will never use!! It is very compact too which is a bonus.

The 9323 is a really good radio, it does most of the important things any other one will.
The small remote head is an ideal size and having access to most of the functions from the mike if good, I think when they went to the NGT they made it harder to use for most people and this is why the 9323 is still popular and great value.
We use a Icom ICF-7000 and a Codan 9350 antenna.....the Icom is alot more user friendly and advanced then the even the NGT.
I want around $850 or nearest offer for the 9323 with no antenna, you can pick up a taped whip and base for a couple of $$$
The 9323 is just sitting around not getting used collecting dust.

Richard,
If you have no success with anyone else purchasing the codan, I am also very interested. Could you email me at growpak@internode.on.net if you still have the radio and are still keen to offload it.
thanks,
Jeff
