I bought a Power Supply at the ARNSW equipment sales.   http://www.arnsw.org.au/html/page_disposals.html The Yaesu FP-12 Power Supply is a 13.8 volt 12 amp, 16 amp peak, mains supply, including an elliptical speaker, made in Japan in 1980.  On top, held down with a Velcro strap, is my Yaesu Ft-8800 2m/70cm transceiver. Pros Noise free analogue supply Well made, built like a brick outhouse, 35 years old and works perfectly. Tilt stand and height gives a good viewing angle Great sounding speaker Looks reasonably neat. Cons Heavy! Weighs in at a hefty  7.3 kg (16.1 lbs)

 

Treated myself to one of these to help with Antenna assembly or design. http://www.youkits.com/

To quote our Yahoo Group Page about our radio club -  Founded in 1975, survived a love/hate relationship with the WIA, was involved in a diverse range of activities starting with ham/SWL field trips, progressing through caving and bridge climbing, and ending up where those who did not experience the DXG first-hand cannot even imagine. Fast forward to 2014  and a meetup at Lane Cove River Park.
