Uniden 27meg/UHF radio

Got one for Fathers Day last.Only moderate use to date and works quite well.Will get the big test in July/August when I head Oodnadatta/ Cameron Corner.Will be interesting to see how the Repeater system works.The dual monitor system has come in handy.I live in the South of Sydney and can pick up Richmond area and North of Hornsby on UHF. Can't offer any more at this stage.

In my experience unidens need annual tuning by a radio tech to work properly. For my money I'd get a GME TX3200 (RRP $375) and if you need AM as well get a $80 set from Dick Smith. The GME radios are virtually unbreakable and Australian made.

Do you have a site that details this UHF/27 meg machine ? As the others mentioned, you have to have single side band on the 27 meg unit - not much use without it - with SSB, you can get a long way in good conditions - from Central Oz to Hobart - from Ceduna to NZ even - all depends on conditions - if the Uniden does not have SSB on board, you would be better off with two radios.
