Thread: What UHF Radio's does everyone use?

It was working on ch16 then it decided to do something wierd.
Anyway, it wouldnt recieve the other cars anymore, so we scanned the channels picked them up on ch17 clearly (whilst everyone else was on 16 :? ). Yet when we responed we where breaking up. Seemed as if it was operating at a frequency between channels

I thought this was strange/funny.
Other than that, it was a cool radio.

duplex is only on chanels 1 through 8........
and uses chanels 31 through 37.......

your radio sounds like it may be off frequency.....?</span>

:?:
I have no idea. We just listened for the rest of the day.
I did like the style of it though, the unit was just so big :?

Got an ICOM 400 pro. Just got it 2 weeks ago so still working out how all the bits work. I got the 65 extra police channels, some of the information that comes across from them is pretty weird. I only get the just out of Brisbane coppers as the in Bris ones dont use UHF radios anymore. Some crazy people in this world.

How do see through all those tools hanging on the windscreen?

What happened to the hand helds??

Perry

Tools have gone now (they hang on the drivers window) Still working on the handhelds.

I've got a uniden UH 12, it is a pretty basic model.

Mainly because it was the cheapest around. As yet I have not had any problems with it.


Has anyone got any issues with this basic radio??
Good, bad or whatever. I would like some feedback

Iv'e got a GME TX3400 in the Landy and a TX4200 in the Suby.

We bought some 5w handheld Unidens for the cadets.

They're all good radios, never had a problem.

With the car radios, on a good day when in the higher part of town I've picked up the repeater in Ravensthorpe (160km away as the crow flies)!

I forgot to mention.

I also use a couple of cheap Uniden hand-helds which have been bloody great when needed.

Base radio is an old Pearce Simpson. Squelch has pretty much gone now, but it still works fine!

i've got a GME TX4400 mounted in the roof console. it's a bit bigger than the 3400 but pretty small when you compare it to the super cheetah AM CB i used to have. i got this one mainly for the extra 20 listen only channels which the guys that i bought it from, kindly programmed all of the police channels into. not only makes for great entertainment, but keeps you informed of trouble spots to stay away from.
has a few handy features above the 3400 also.
i wasn't worried about the remote head stuff as i would then have to find 2 mounting spots instead of just 1.
