Alinco DJ-G29T

[B.J. Guillot]

Noticed that Remtronix has the Alinco DJ-G29T in stock.  This is the rare 222 MHz (5 Watts) and 902 MHz (2.5 Watts) dual-band handheld that was discontinued a few years ago.

There doesn't appear to be a way to order on their website, so you have to call them.  They charge an additional $15 for shipping over the cost noted on the link above.

I just placed an order for 1, and they said they only have 2 or 3 left from the final batch.

HRO also sales an after-market Diamond antenna for this HT as well and still has antennas in stock:

     However many they had this morning, they now have one less than that, as it is on its way to me.  They also told me they only had a few left.  This will be my first 900 MHz radio, although my first 900 MHz QSO occurred back in 1985 or so when amateurs were first authorized for 900 MHz.  Me and another guy made a contact across the engineering lab using HP-8640B signal generators to transmit and for LOs to convert down to the 2 meter band.  Distance worked was about 30 feet.

Nice find... I picked one up years ago (new at a local dealer) and make use of it from time to time (most recently during the Sept VHF contest to work a local hill topper on 223.5 and 927.5)
