hi all

i was recently given (free of charge, would you believe) a perfectly working gme tx4000. 3 days later, i did a real temporary install job on a mates 4wd for a trip to fraser in convoy.

unfortunately, the job was so temporary that an unfamiliar user reversed the polarity and as there was no fuses, destroyed the set (i was quoted $220 to repair it). Note to self - never to temporary wiring jobs :'(

anyways, i have caught the bug, and am likely to get a new set when i get the cash. from reading here, it seems uniden is not an option, so i am looking at the gme line again, having loved the first set i had.

what is the difference between the tx3200 and the tx4400, other than price? the 4400 obviously has more features, but the only feature i am really interested in is range. can anyone say how they compare? i am looking for a DIN mount unit or kit, so both these units can do it.

also, i am thinking i will get the benelec 3/6.5db 'explorer' antenna, prestige has them for $85, and dick smith has them for $100. is this worthwhile? i have seen a number of 4wds using them since i started looking at them. i am putting it on an old camry sedan, so it won't be doing any harsh work, unless the entire sunshine coast floods...

anyway, i knew nothing about uhfs 2 weeks ago, until i got given this set, so any help is much appreciated.

cheerio, tim c
