Hi all, recently ordered a Uniden UH013 ($225) but just received parcel opened it up and they sent a Uniden UH400SX. Had little note saying free upgrade, can anyone tell me if i got a good deal or is the UH013 better? I really dont know much cbout them but i know i need one just to communicate with friends when travelling in convoy and for overtaking Road Trains and stuff.
Anyone be able to enlighten me?

Look up the web site and compare stats......See if it is a better deal.....I have a Uniden UH089sx and have no probs...Not top of the line but does the job.

The UH013 has a remote head (which means u can mount the power pack basically anywhere in your vehicle) and mount the small detachable head to a nice tight fitting area if you wish. The 400sx is a fixed (normal) unit. I think the UH013 is not made anymore and has been replaced by newer models (UH015), the 400sx is a newer model but not the equivalent in regards to it physical aspects. The power etc is the same, 400sx has dual watch (which means u can watch activity on two channels at once). The UH013 has a scanning feature which means you can listen to fire, police (if not in Vic), ambos etc
If you were after a 'remote head' then I would think you were dudded but if not then I think its ok.
Have a look here

Hey Kroozer,
The new one looks ok but looking at the RRP than they are making a very nice profit......
I have fitted at least 15 to machines and trucks that are 24v and 12v in the last 5 months. I have 2 to fit next week also.
I might even try finding one of those new ones for the machines next week
