Where is the best place to buy a UHF Radio in Melbourne?

Hi Bug,
I know these guys aren't in Vic, But they have free delivery.Contact Communications There pretty well priced and have what your looking for. I bought off them The TX4400, A great unit.

Hello Bug,

I bought my GME-TX3440 from Telstat. They are down at Seaford and give good advice & service all sorts of vehicles. I'm very pleased with the unit, and the controls on the mike.
Here's the link:http://www.telstat.com.au/

Make sure you get a tall aerial for bush driving - apart from line-of-sight, height is everything to gain distance for UHF. I am looking at getting another aerial - on the old Prado, I had one mounted on the roof gutter for the bush. It could go up in stages with connectors for each section locked with an Allen Key and it gave good reception. The sections looked like knitting needles stored in the seat pocket whilst around town and you do need to remember the aerial before you drive into the garage. :-]

If you do any convoy driving, you could be a Km away from the leader especially in dunes so the best reception you can practically manage is important.

Cheers,
Ros.

Try G&C Communications in Cranbourne.

Cheers,

Jim.

I bought mine online at "prestige communications" and got a very good deal.. I got my unit (the old GME TX3200 which was the in thing at the time) with an aerial included and delivered for less than the unit itself was selling for in store.

never had a problem with it and it has done its job for a few years now.

cheers

I bought my GME-TX3440 on EBay for $279, great unit reasonable range in remote areas,

Bug,

I did a google search on the GME radio's in answer to a post the other day. There are a heap of online deals that include areals and postage. Might be well worth doing a search if you haven't already done so.

Cheers
