UHF and GPS in one.

Here is a site with them for $362...

Ever thought it was your unit? Seems to be the common denominator? I've owned both GME and Uniden and yes, GME built is a little better but you do get pretty good value for money out of the Uniden. I work in Electronics and have seen my fair share of both units. The GPS105 is a good unit........

After 35 years using CBs do you really think that I wouldn't know that , If it was my radio would not all incoming transmissions be the same , the answer to that is a yes , Do you think that I have not had others as in Truckies and Escort drivers do the test along with me when we travel the highways, No more comment here ,

Doug T,

Wasn't having a go at you or questioning you. Just took what you wrote and inferred there was a possibility of an issue with your radio. Obviously without knowing all the facts I got it wrong.....For that I apologise....WRT Uniden they aren't as bad as some people make out.....I have repaired my fair share of both and GME would be on top but not by the margins people state......20 plus years in the Electronic Communications field should also speak for something......I guess we are going to have to agree to dis-agree......

My little uniden that has bounced around for years and filled with dust at the OBC 4 times is still clear and easy to hear to both ends

Yeah Bonz, I have had my uniden for years and its as good as the day I bought it and the other vehicles we travel with say it comes over clear. I agree with you teabag, some people just like a blubber when there wrong.

Well Doug... you need to ask yourself why this, and other, forums are not filled with complaints by people regarding Uniden radios. Uniden are a long standing professional company and the technology of good audio quality over UHF radio has been long understood. Uniden are quite capable of performing audio distortion measurements on their kit.

My Uniden CB is still going well after 13 years - not that I use it much.

Guy's,

Doug T isn't wrong by any means....The GME units are slightly better in there build quality but wrt the internals they are much for muchness. The only part I do dis-agree with is the don't waste your money part........He wouldn't be wasting his money if he bought a Uniden........Though each to his own.....Everyone is entitle to their own opinions and views......No matter how different we may think....

Teabag and Mike
What is it with you blokes, do think I'm stupid or what, Teabag,Maybe there the internals are almost /ALMOST the same and with components it would'nt be much to make a huge difference,
Mike.
I don't care about your 13 y/o radio, Bonz's Dusty radio, and if Uniden are quite capable of performing audio distortion measurements on their kit they're not doing much about it. maybe what I hear is the Microphone quality, Mike and Teabag, How many different radio's do you listen to each week , c'mon ...how many, 2 or 10 or 20, , I can honestly say I listen to maybe a 400 to 800, if I were on the Hume Hwy then the count could go into the 1000s ,how do I know that, well way back in the mid 1970s the number of trucks that passed through Marulen Checking Station each night was approx 5000 , last year was near 8000 vehicles went through the Checking station each night,So what I'm saying is that I am out there hearing this poor quality radio , A thought just came to mind, you blokes are just like polititions, they sit in little offices and make decisions without the coal face facts .

Doug t,

Mate, I thought I was pretty fair with you and your comments and respected your point of view from a users perspective, can't fault that? It appears I was wrong. I was pointing out my view from a maintainers perspective which I have had great experience with. Yes, you have no doubted listened to more than I but how many have you repaired, me thousands? Most of the issues with radio's is the radio/aerial combination and if you buy the best radio and the worst/cheap aerial then what can you expect? As I said previously in my previous post I wasn't disagreeing with you except for one part. I can accept that you don't see it my way, can you accept that I see if different doesn't mean any one party is incorrect.

Teabag
For gawds sake mate ,I don't think I knocked your expertise in fixing radios,

There that was my last previous post to you , the rest for Mike Harding,
What was the part in that hurt you
Be buggered I give up ???????

If I were in the market for a new one I would go for this

Kenwood TK-868HG 40W UHF transceiver
$599.00 AUD

Your reply is the most sensible answer I've seen , John Laws would surely give you Yeh for the day.
I feel this unit will get even better as time goes ,

Redback,

Good unbiased yet accurate comment......

100% correct. Too many installs are done by people with little to no knowledge of what is required or how to do. A good quality antenna is also very important....

There is the Tracks4Australia or even better Shonkymaps available now.

But these are only compatible for Garmin GPS,

Magellan already have a great maps for their GPS units, DiscoverAus I think it is.

The Shonkymaps are topo and shows fence line, buildings and a few other icons on the screen, also you can lay transparent topo over the City Navigator maps on your GPS
