Emdrc club station VK3ER had fun last night. A pair of F calls run our station with some guidance and help. Thanks to everyone we worked.

EMDRC Clubroom Open day and BBQ. This Saturday 9th April. EMDRC and Icom Australia will host a clubroom open day and Icom IC7300 SDR HF Radio Demonstration. Icom will have an IC7300 connected to the club beams/dipoles and members, visitors and guests are welcome to come explore this new radio in a r...

Looks like the IC7300 will sell faster than a load of 'hot cakes' at the sunday markets.... :lol: I honestly didn't think it would go that low. My best guess was around $1,950 - $2150 a few weeks ago. At $1,795...i wonder if Ross can keep up with the orders :think: and it will shut those 'parallel'...

already dropped to $1795....... crazy

Ross is the one who said $2650. At 2065 it's better )

Yes. Has an SD card slot. For memories. Not sure if it saves the audio like the dstar radios can.

I read elsewhere the Australian price is rrp$2915 and market price $2650. Crazy

when companies like http://www.emraustralia.com.au/ start spruking the "wonderful Catalyst story", and selling off the event, you know its a scare campaign the above company will happily paint your house in RF shielded paint and remove you from this dangerous radio smog for give or take a ...

Tim, as the president of EMDRC (i was technically still vice president last year when I/we the club made the call), i made the decision to move the hamfest to 28th Feb around april last year, when i discovered our easter clash. At the time, I did go looking on the web for clashing events, however wy...
