  • UHF comparison and recomendations

    Hi Guys...
    looking at a UHF for my new GXL.
    I am looking at either the GME TX3540S, Uniden UH8080S or the Icom IC440N.
    What are peoples thoughts on these and pros and cons of each .

    I have the icom440n and like how it all works from the hand piece. There's a new icom450n that just been released too. Looks nicer.

          I have the older ICOM and a new 80 channel Uniden with controls on the mic. Much of a muchness really. The Uniden is easier to use while driving but the guys at electric bug that sold me both say they never have a problem with returned hand pieces for the ICOM. Given the 450n has had a facelift I would probably go with that but say I have no specific experience with that unit.

            I like my GME unit, I liked the last 2 GME units in the last 2 4wds as well. Had a Uniden in my first car, it was a second hand one but was utter crap. Brother in law had a Icom and it was a great quality unit, just a little less user friendly the way the buttons were, etc. In his new car we put the GME and he likes it better.

              Nope, sorry not all.
              Once this was the case but many of the handhelds are now made in China.
              Check out the specs it's pretty clear.

                  I have just installed a Uniden UH8080S and reckon it's the best unit I've used, it has so many features, replay, emergency channel scanner crystal clear sound. Great unit. I got mine off Ebay it was $360 with an arial delivered. Cheers

                      Listening to someone using a Uniden always sounds like they are down the bottom of a well to me, but I've got a GME so may be biased

                        I've never had any issues with clarity when using my Uniden reported to me, have been in plenty of convoys with it too. I have the UH7760NB.

                          TX3540S which is one of the units zook is looking at is Aust made according to the GME website (with a 5 year warranty).

                          On the flip side I recently purchased a GME AE4703 antenna which is made in China.

                            Yep, noticed the same thing, can't talk to MLC on his Uniden but have not experienced that with any other UHF.

                              The GME ones are just assembled here so they can get the made in Aus symbol. It's all from China.
                              I have had one sittin in my lounge room for two months, maybe I should install it today. So lazy
