Maybe you have investigated acquiring a 23cm transceiver and found it is not that simple.
Unfortunately, new equipment is not readily available in Australia, and what is on the market is high-end equipment at a matching high-end price. Importing equipment into Australia comes with inherent risks.
Why not build your own transceiver? This sounds daunting - but is surprisingly simple, satisfying and way cheaper than buying off-the-shelf. Two SGARS members have teamed up to make building your own 23cm Narrow Band FM Transceiver, a possibility.
Full information about the 23cm transceiver kit is available by following this link www.foskett.cc
