Can anyone recommend a good
UHF radio for a relatively newcomer to 4wd. My requirements are pretty basic; communication with other 4wd drivers when travelling, around the $400 including antenna and installtion, and reasonable warranty and service support. Have a Pajero NM and there are no free slots I can put a radio in, so something with a small footprint will be nice.

Froilan, Try Andrews Communications in
Sydney, they've been around for ever, think their prices would be competitive. The TX3200 is a really compact unit, but have a look at TX4400, it's the rolls royce of UHF, these days. Footprint is a little bigger than 3200, and about twice as thick, but has a really big display, useful in bad light conditions. Would strongly suggest Electrophone over Uniden, even if it is only for the better audio. We run 10 E'phones here, as
well as numerous h'helds, and rarely have a problem with TX series in vehicles. Buy best aerial you can afford, POLAR are good, for their size. Bye...

Steer clear of Uniden......
Go with either the 32/3400 GME.
Moggs said it, Prestige Comms in
perth is the place to deal with.....
Hard to beat their deals.

I see it's already been said, but I'll say it again...
GME is the way to go for the radio, I've tried the other brand and wasn't happy. The TX3200 model is the cheapest, but do look at the TX4400 just so you know what your missing out on.
POLAR antenna's are the best unless you spend over twice as much. Get the model with the spring - should cost around $100.
