[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Alinco DJ-G29T Transceiver

[Ian]

Steve thinks he'll have about 500 available in 2 weeks.  So hold off calling
HRO.  He'll call Rich or me as soon as they're available and we'll let
everyone know!  They are NOS (new, old stock) so the battery will probably
be a little weak but, hey, at that price we can get a new, less expensive
battery with higher capacity from one of the major battery vendors.

I'll start off with the disclaimer, I don't work for HRO.

If you had been interested in purchasing on of these 1.25 meter/33cm
transceivers, but you were too late because the radio had been discontinued,
here is your second chance.

No, Alinco is not manufacturing them again.  However, HRO has bought the
entire lot of about 400 Alinco DJ-G29's that were stored in a warehouse
somewhere and no one knew about them.

So, our very own K5OTZ struck a deal with Steve (W4SHG) and Joe (N4JCS) at
HRO for the Alexandria Radio Club.  The suggested retail price on this batch
will be around $150, about half what W9TCE, N4CWP and I paid at Dayton 2013
and less than one radio store is selling their remaining inventory.  

Why am I posting this here?  The Alexandria Radio Club has excellent
repeaters on both 1.25.and 33 cm.  Here is your chance to get on these two
great bands for not a lot on money.  The 1.25 meter band has to be the
best-kept secret in ham radio.  There is not much around it and its very
quite.  It also has great propagation characteristics.  The 33cm band is
good for short-range communications.

The DJ-G29 uses the same battery pack as the tri-band (2m/70cm/23cm) HT
Alinco sells, the DJ-7(?).  For a speaker mic, you'll need to buy the dongle
for it, but any ICOM-compatible speaker mic works with the dongle.

You will need to call HRO directly if you're interested.  

Let's get some activity on these two bands.

73,
Rich, KA4GFY
