Thanks mate that's what I like to hear good feedback.Hi @17triton , fitted up the gme 3540, pretty happy with it, supplied with a seperate socket for mounting mic elsewhere, base unit pretty small and tucked under dash nicely, whilst keeping good sound from the speaker, i purchased a seperate speaker but it didnt need it. Neat
Uniden /GME UHF Radios, What have you got? And aerials?
- Thread starter 17triton
- Start date
will get you some pics tomorrow. i purchased second hand $250 as new in box, never used on gumtree.
good to know @Holden_man thanks got it on line waiting for delivery can you pick up emergency services eg police
I have the Uniden UH-7760NB, with speaker and controls in the hand unit, in the Prado and no problems so far after 12 months. Main unit fits nicely to the side of the glove box. Had a GME 3100 (From memory) previously and no issues with that one either apart from having to mount it externally.
I see you've discovered beef is a little more forgiving when cook by your proven method :flame:
There you go @17triton , gme 3540 fitted. mic plugs into little black fitting mounted just under dash beside console. ref 1 st pic.
Head unit mounted up and under with all the other bits and pieces, that i have no clue what they do ?
OK gang I'm going to bunny hop off the back of @17triton's thread... I too am getting the UHF sorted in the truck and have pretty much landed on the GME tx3345.
Now my question... what aerial/antenna should I be looking for? It's only for recreational use, mostly convoy stuff, but maybe for some light entertainment on the highway too... Metal vs. Fibreglass? Gain? Brand? I really have no idea about these things so open my mind (and cautiously my wallet) to you guys for some sage advice.
I'll be mounting it on the dedicated mounts on the bulbar.

@Smergen. Im a recognised expert on these matters .... my advice is get one that makes your car look cool. The cooler it looks, the less it needs to work; in fact if you get the right antenna you dont need the radio
This works for me

Thanks mate, sorry to piggyback off your thread. Just seemed like a good place to ask.
I can suggest for cost vs benefit a 6db GME aerial with goose neck for short range applications and mounting on bull bar about $70 to $90.
Such as:

You can get better aerials for more money, but I have an older model and it works well and you can replace the top whip if it gets broken or stolen. GME make good aerials and cables and connectors.

Ive the same antenna as @yabbietol. Its been on 4 different cars now, and works fine.
@yabbietol... with that link posted, is there any reason why I would have both antennas? Would I swap them over? Install both?
Through that website I found this pack which I reckon seems like decent value:
