This morning, I bit the bullet and ordered the recently introduced Digitech AR-1780<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve had a massive amount of inquiries about this radio–mainly from readers in Australia and New Zealand–so I thought it would make sense to check it out and compare it to other portables.<\/p>\n

This radio is only available from retailers in Australia (so far), so I placed the order with an Australia-based eBay retailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The price, with shipping, will equate to about $142 US.<\/p>\n

The AR-1780 is being sent via the postal service so I don’t expect it to arrive for at least a couple of weeks. eBay estimates a delivery between August 17-28.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned! Bookmark the tag Digitech AR-1780<\/strong><\/a> to follow updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
