COVID19 - Shipping Delays
We are currently experiencing an increased volume of online orders, along with delays and general congestion within our freight and logistic networks. Australia Post and local couriers are also experiencing unprecedented demands on their delivery services, leading to longer than normal delivery times. Unfortunately, this is resulting in delays getting some of your orders delivered to you on time.
Services that continue to operate as normal are Click & Collect and Express Delivery.
1. Our FREE 1hr Click & Collect service remains unaffected and we encourage you to use this service if you need your order urgently and can get to your local store.
2. We also have a limited Express/Same Day* delivery service that (for a short time) will be offered at a discounted price of $5 per order. * Available at participating stores only and confirmed at checkout
We expect that other Standard Delivery services will be impacted for another one to two weeks and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Our Customer Service Team is available to help if you have any concerns about your order. Please don’t hesitate to contact them.

Again, thank you for your patience and ongoing support.

For More info on World Band Radio.

World Band Radios are those radios that are capable of tuning into radio programs generated by, say the British BBC, Radio Australia(Australian ABC Radio programs), Voice of America, Radio Vatican, etc. These programs are transmitted on a regular weekly basis in any one 24 hour period. It is generally preferable to use 24 hour time, linked to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) which is the time it is in London (UK) so that confusion is eliminated as when the program is broadcast. There are dozens and dozens of programs from countries all over the world in the special languages of these countries. For example if you are an Australian citizen but originally from Greece, you can tune into stations that enable you to keep your knowledge of the language up to date. The stations typically have a lot of local news which you would normally not hear. The World Band stations are generally broadcast in several frequencies at the same time, typically between about 1.8MHz & 29.00 MHz, especially between7 & 21MHz. You can look up the broadcasting details on Google etc. Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is a circuit configuration invented over 80 years ago. Originally the circuit was so complex that it only appeared in expensive radios. With modern microchip technology, the PLL got a lot cheaper. The benefits of PLL technology enabled receivers to remain on a station frequency with great accuracy. The radio circuit did not ‘drift.’ PLL technology, though still not cheap, is a hallmark of quality short wave radios and that’s why Jaycar specifies them.
