The moment we installed the first antenna we noticed a greater broadcast and reception range…“As the Director of one of Australia’s largest off-road communities, it has been a pleasure utilising the range of ZCG Scalar™ antenna systems on our race vehicles in the most demanding and unforgiving environments in the world.

Our experience has shown that the range of ZCG Scalar™ antennas provide reliability, quality and cost effectiveness that surpassed our expectations.

From the moment we installed the first antenna we noticed a greater broadcast and reception range compared to other higher priced units produced by other manufacturers.

We now run nothing but ZCG Scalar™ products on all our team vehicles and would highly recommend this great Australian made product to anyone looking for a superior quality vehicle antenna.”

Evan Sycamnias, Director, Team MudRhino.

Joe Bonavia, Regional Director Australasian Operations, Ikusi ANZ Pty Ltd, Vic.

Your firm is very reliable with deliveries…
“It arrived in good condition and on time…your firm is very reliable with deliveries, it is very much appreciated.”

Dave Eisenhauer, 96.3 FM Radio, Tumut, New South Wales.

Performance has been way beyond expectation…
“Just a bit of feedback for you, regarding vertical 3dB aerial recently purchased. Performance has been way beyond expectations, the coverage I am now achieving from my commercial security radio systems has improved at least 90% better coverage. I have one of your 15 element beams, connected to a 2 way phasing harness and connecting to the vertical, with outstanding results. Your Technical guys may like to know this feedback as well.”
Michael Searle Security Services, Tasmania.

We continue to be impressed by the quality and performance of your products…
“Yes, the antenna arrived yesterday and we were able to implement it 2 days prior than expected. I really thought we would be pushing it to be able to get the product in such quick time, but you were able to get it to us in half that time again!! It is very pleasing to be given such great customer service. Well done to you and your colleagues! We continue to be impressed by the quality and performance of your products. Many thanks.”
Rowan Quinn, Bureau of Meteorology, Tasmania.

Knowledgeable and helpful…
“It was a rare pleasure to deal with such a knowledgeable and helpful group of people. By exceeding my expectations in all areas you have ensured that next time I or anyone I know needs an antenna I will not hesitate to direct the business to ZCG Scalar™.”
Roger Costello, Western Australia.

Impressed with the service…
“From first contact through to a quick call from site to check on an installation detail I found the entire experience to be conducted in a clear, professional and efficient manner.

I was already impressed with the service provided when I unpacked the kit and found a well presented Handbook for the array with all relevant plots and installation data.

For me this was the icing on the cake ! It meant that I did not need to generate a documentation package to the customer; it had been done for me.

It is this attention to detail and focus on customer service that ensures Australian Small Business’s can stand apart from other competitors, congratulations and I look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.”

John Horder, Mountain Electronic Services Pty Ltd, South Australia.

Quick and professional…
“Thanks also for the quick and professional service. We may be needing more from you as the weeks progress, look forward to doing business.”

Steve Caldwell, Head Tech, Jands Pty Ltd, New South Wales.
