SWLing Post<\/em> readers who are located\u00a0in countries other than the United States, may have found it difficult (and pricey) to order the CountyComm GP5\/SSB portable radio.<\/p>\n

I’ve just learned about an eBay seller<\/a> that ships internationally and works directly with CountyComm. The seller, Randy, is a ham radio operator (KB3GGC) and has a 100% satisfaction rating on eBay, so you can purchase with confidence. His price ($79.95) is also fair and shipping quite reasonable–certainly much better than many of the Tecsun PL-365 listings on eBay.<\/p>\n

Randy also sells spare antennas and an adaptor that allows to connect external antennas to the GP5 series receiver<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
