Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader,\u00a0Wesley, who notes:<\/p>\n

For those in Australia, the Jaycar in Bondi Junction is currently selling the Digitech AR-1780 for AUD$99. I suspect the other locations are offering the same price.<\/p>\n

I picked one up – pretty happy with it so far! Really excited that it contains several filter bandwidths, which should help with receiving weather fax and SITOR signals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE: SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Davo notes:<\/p>\n

It’s on special in NZ too: NZ$119 saving of $30<\/p>\n

Thank you for the tips!\u00a0 Yes, indeed, I would purchase the AR-1780 for $99 AUD in a heartbeat. It’s certainly a great value at that price (roughly $77 US). I don’t think Jaycar ships internationally, so this sale may only apply to those living in Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

I can’t tell via the Jaycar site how long this sale may last. If you live in Australia or NZ and have been considering the AR-1780, I would jump on this deal. It’s a decent little portable. Besides visiting a Jaycar location, you can also place your order online.<\/p>\n

Click here to view this deal at Jaycar Australia<\/a>\u00a0and here for Jaycar New Zealand<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those of us outside of Australia\/NZ can always purchase via the eBay seller I used<\/a>–though the total price with shipping will set you back about $134 US.<\/p>\n
