yeah those 3220's are ok, about the only difference between PRS's is the price

[Shortpaj]

i can get one for 275 with only about an hours use? for the 3220 think thats a good deal?

yeah mate 100+ bucks cheaper sounds good, does it come with an areial?

[Shortpaj]

Not sure, if it doesn't what can i expect to pay for one of these?

[Sadam_Husain]

um usually about $50+ for an aerial, I usually get the dick smith ones, D4000 I think, they seem to be pretty robust?

I had 1 of the dick smith ones.... only lasted a few trips.... tore it off by hitting some branches.... replaced it with 1 from jaycar.
Seems about the same quailty but a bit cheaper.
Am going to get a short flexy for bush trip & use my longer high gain for open trips

I only paid ~100 bucks for a phasemaster aerial. Works all good and handles a bit of a hiding.

Its been bent lots over the years but never broken (other than the timber ), you didnt get one of those ones with the plastic base did you?
