Hi Geir!

Welcome to the group!  Have you tried http://www.radioworld.co.uk/catalog/index.php ?  They have a used one listed on their website.  You'll need to call and see what's involved in getting in shipped over to Norway.  I know Ham Radio Outlet,  www.hamradio.com<http://www.hamradio.com> , can ship to *some* countries, but you  need to call them before ordering as well.

I've had mine for about seven years.  For VHF/UHF work it does great!  Down on the HF bands it does okay, but you really can't expect top notch performance from a $500 box that covers from 100khz up through 2.6ghz.  I would like to get my hands on the DSP to if that improves the listening experience.

73,
