Guys, a few of our members bought this little unit and they tell me it’s a good radio. I contacted the supplier and after some attempts they were unwilling to offer a club discount.
Anyway, here is the price if you are interested. This is not a club endorsed product, just looks like a good option and the small size appeals to me with my small Paj.

Radio: R1495.00 excl VAT
Magmount Antenna: R403.20 excl VAT
Delivery: R99.13 excl VAT

I think I may get myself one but I also want the external speaker.
I think Andreas is also keen.

The onboard speaker is only a 2W speaker.
This will be fine in a quieter vehicle but in something like the SJ you can't hear much at road going speeds.
I have just ordered the external speaker for it from RTS but still need to fit it and test it.
The external speaker is a 4W speaker and about twice the diameter as the onboard.

Guys, there will be no group buy.
I just can't take this on too at the moment.
Please contact RTS directly...
Sorry about creating the impression we'd do this in a ordered centralised fashion...

When you order tell them you are part of a 4x4 club, then they will deliver for free. Mention my name (Kurt Gerber) and they will know.
@Paul - I will sort your one out when I order mine, I suspect they won’t give free delivery for a small item. We can chat offline.

The humble person makes room for progress; the arrogant person believes they’re already there.
