NEED SOME HELP?

With our new Famparc Repeater now officially on the air, you may want to think about purchasing a new Mobile Rig for your vehicle or shack.

Icom ID-5100 2M/70cm & DStar Transceiver

The club is a good start to look for a pre-loved FM Rigs for either car or home use, as the club often has them for sale from owners that have no need for them or perhaps from a deceased estate, however if you looking for a new rig, listed below are a good selection from the trusted brand Icom..

Note: Famparc is not affiliated with the sellers listed below and does not earn any profit from sales. This is merely an effort by the club to help facilitate the purchase of a Transceiver for connecting to the club repeater.
