Not a good idea to post your email in a public forum.

PMs or post here will be fine.

You have a few options:

- Maplin have a limited selection of scanners in stock
- CQ Communications on the quays in Dublin (very expensive though)
- Radio equipment dealers around the country (South East Comms is one http://www.sec.ie/)
- Online via eBay or similar
- Buy & Sell

South East comms (Gary) in Waterford is fine.

also try
Wimo http://wimo.de/frameset_e.html

Walters & Stanton http://www.wsplc.com/

Martin Lynch http://www.hamradio.co.uk/

Classic Radio http://www.classicinternational.nl/EN_Start.html

There is also a good outfit in Denmark, forget the name

South East Comms isn't a great website, better to ring Gary:
http://www.sec.ie/

I've dealt with all of the above. Seen JBT (below) at rallies. Might have bought a connector or something off him. Seemed similar priced to Gary in Waterford.

Also in N.I.
Jim Bob Traynor Trading: http://www.mi0jbt.com/

Most of the other Irish suppliers are very expensive and poor stock.

Maybe we should have a sticky here like
