I am looking to purchase a
UHF radio. For mounting I have decided to go for a remote head unit.
Which unit do I buy the Uniden UH013 or the GME TX3400.
Do I need Selcall? It is included with the GME and Uniden is $79 extra.
Uniden has VOX capability which I do like.
I believe the Uniden is dust proof and the GME is not.
I am green to UHF vehicle radio. To date we have only used the Uniden hand helds.
Many thanks

Personally wouldnt wee on Uniden car unit. Had one Uniden (UH011)unit it ended in the bin - seriously. Iron Pete had one too, his ended up the same.
I have a UH056 hand held which is quite good. So they can do SOMETHING right.
Had a 3400 brilliant unit. Now have a 3800 - cause I can... :)~ 3400 will always do a good job.
You want remote head, why is that? the 3200 is cheaper, and just as good for the average punter. www.prestigecom.net.au is the cheapest place to get GME gear from.
Do you need Sellcall? Not really Ive never used it in 3 yrs. But only you can answer if you need it..
Nothing is 100% dustproof, since it has to have some form of venting to let heat out.
Also spend more money on the ariel and wiring than more on a radio... Radios are all "FAIRLY" on par, its the goodies that go with them that make the difference.
