RadioGearPro (found 'em on eBay, but they charge more there)
is one of the "bright stars" of HK's many Ham Radio suppliers
Good order status reporting, fast (& free) shipping, etc.
In AU, the Yaesu FT-60R can cost Au$299 PLUS shipping, eg:

This radio is both a 2-way (for licensed Radio Amateurs) AND
wide-band receiver with scanning functions.
For info on becoming a Radio Amateur, cf:

Eg, use it to listen to your local CFS / CFA fireground talk
(in the unlikely event you're so near to a bush fire), etc.
Note: It does NOT receive SA GRN or other trunked radio systems.
For frequencies of licensed transmitters, in your postcode area, cf:
http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/assignment_range.range_sea…
(The radio's spec's are BOTH at RadioGearPro's page, see above,
AND at the page at StrictlyHam's - just above.)
Payment can be via PayPal or Credit Card; eMails on order status
follows payment (eg, within 30 min's & on next day in my exper.)
This vendor also has other low-cost Yaesu & Vertex Standard
radios, as well as lower-end Chinese brands, eg, Wouxen, etc.
I haven't bought much from them, but - each time (so far) -
I've had low prices + good experiences from RadioGearPro.
Of course, YMMV ;-)
PS I'd be interested in names of similar low-price HK radio
vendors (eg, in your comments, below), thanks.
Put price in title.
