Thread: GME ELECTROPHONE TX3440 UHF

I've got one and I think it's good, but I'm no expert with these things. I hid the unit in a roof console so I put an extension speaker (SPK07) right beside my ear on the headlining. I have the Mic. above the windscreen ,easy to see everything.When I unplug the mic. and put it away ,There's nothing for prying eyes to see except the antenna on the front. Don

I have one in my 90 which I would assume is no quieter than your 101!

It is pretty good. The speaker is fairly loud, but be aware that the speaker is in the main body so bear that in mind if you mount it too far out of the way. Mine is behind the drivers seat back, and I can hear it fine, although it is on a fairly high volume setting (full)

Ive had mine a couple of years or so now and it hasn't really given any real trouble. (apart from see below)

The fuse holder on the power cable is dreadful however. Bin that before even fiting it. I had to tape the connectors together on a trip after it failed for about the 3rd time.

Cheers

Glad you mentioned that - I thought it was also a speaker in the handset. I might have to rethink this then - maybe a remote speaker might be the go.

Thanks

Ok - what about the Icom IC-440. Icom says it has no speaker at all but this does not seem right. Anyone with the IC 440 who can set me and Icom right.

The Icom is only $40 more than the GME.

Thanks

I have the uniden equivelent (need to check at home what actual model)

it has a speaker in both

afaik the 3440 has the speaker in the handset too......

the 3440 has also just been superceded by a 3340. There doesn't appear to be a lot of difference between the two apart from Digital Signal Processing technology which is claimed to give a clearer signal.

Based on the user manual there is no speaker in the microphone and if the main unit is well hidden a remote speaker may be required. pg 15
