I'm in the final throes in deciding on a handheld to go with my GME TX4400 in dash unit ...
Does anybody have an opinion on the new GME TX610- It looks a bit more bulky than the Uniden 042 and it uses AAA's vs AA's on the Uniden, BUT it has 1w output. I like AA's (better value for money-longer life) but the extra power would be nice- has anyone used the TX610???
What r your thoughts??- both about the same price...

I have the UNIDEN 040xr. It uses "AA" batteries which last ages. It's power output is only .5w, BUT, I am very pleased with it's performance. I can get into the Pt Elliot repeater from
the summit of Mt Barker (Sth Australia), that's a line of sight distance of just over 50kms.
I highly recomend this radio. The only difference you will notice by going to the GME 1watt radio is that you will go through more batteries.

Thanks all - appreciate your time- I'm definetly going with the Uniden- don't like having to buy bulk batteries.
