I'm just wondering if anyone has any horror stories to offer to help the decision between buying GME (3200/3400) or Uniden (UH013/UH088) transceiver. I've checked out all the features between the comparable models and very similar, except for 2yr warranty on GME and 1yr on Uniden.
Any good references would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance..Keith

Keith,
GME (Standard Communications) are based in
Sydney and manufacture all their UHF range at their Gladesville Premises (except for the TX610 Handheld).
They have very high manufacturing standards and are usually very close to printed specs.
Unidens by comparison are imported and do not appear to maintain as high a standard. In the past I have found many units are down on power (-20%).
It is doubtfull if this difference in power would be noticeable to the human ear but when a quality "MADE IN AUSTRALIA" unit is available at comparable price then ?
Also note the different shapes, the DIN sizes are ok but the TX3200 is a smaller unit if this is an installation requirement.
Both remote units are OK but avoid Unidens Dual UHF/CB or UHF/SCANNER models as the disadvantages outway the advantages.
Hope this helps

Had a UH011,threw it in the bin, was the biggest POS on earth.
Then went to a GME remote head, now got a GME3800 instead, 100 channels the works.
GME you will never go wrong.
