Hi Guys,
Have found locating an inbuilt
uhf radio discreetlly and out of sight a problem as my car offers very few opportunities to do this until now.The latest offerings from GME have solved many of my problems with the TX 3100 or in my case the TX 3340 with the full function microphone.These radio's are full function and as small and thinner than a cigarette box with 5w output.
Anybody using one and what do you think?
Cheers Mark

I have a TX3440 mounted behind the dash of a prado. I have had no problems hearing the radio in this location. The microphone is not wired directly into the radio body but is attached via an extension lead (seems to be basically a phone extension cord). This has allowed the microphone to be located nearer to the central console so it can be used by someone in either the front row or second row.
It is convenient that having once picked up the mike all the controls are immediately to hand, so there is no stretching to select channels.
We did have a problem initially that the radio worked fine for receiving, but regularly died when transmitting. Eventually traced this to a loose wire in the fuse! Replaced the fuse and no problems since.
Has worked much more effectively than the 1w hand-held it replaced.
