GME TX3400 or UNIDEN UH013

GME by weeks....

Get it from Prestige Comms in Perth, they do mail order $8 anywhere in aussie, just about next day.

They are both very good radios and you can't go wrong. The GME has an excellant reputation and is Australian made, while Uniden has a scanner function which the GME doesn't which can be handy. If you want the scanner I'd go for the uniden, if not go the GME.

Hi all

I would go GME they get better reception than Uniden and its a know fact. I use to use Undien at my work but the reception was crap then i use GME and i have better reception sounds clear etc....

thanks4x4 is my heart, pain and pleasure, but most of all just a dream for the meantime.

GME is the go, a quality product for sure.

Keepsmilin,
I have the GME TX3400, no problem at all, great radio and the detatcable head saves the space as you point out. My TX3400 had the scan function, not sure why the other reply said the GME didn't. Never had a uniden so I can't comment. Keep the shiny side up

Hi All
The Uniden UH013 can either scan the UHF CB channels (40) or operate as a 40 channel scanner but not both at the same time. Give me a GME any time.
When the TX3400 is programmed to scan extra (Police?) channels it actually scans up to 50 channels (ie 40 +10).

Just add it up. GME is Australian made (Gladesville Sydney), is reliable, operates as per specifications, 2 year warranty.

I know there are a lot of satisfied Uniden owners but the difference is more than Ford verses Holden or should I say Nissan verses Toyota?

OK Lets set the record straight.

1. The TX3400 has a "remote head" not detachable as such, and is much better for tidy installations as the brain of the unit is installed under the dash.
2. The UH013 has a detachable head but can not be mounted remotely. Therefore the radio still has to sit as a whole somewhere in your vehicle.
3. The TX3400 has standard 40 channels with an option extra 10 channels for programming police frequencies etc.
4. The TX3400 can either scan the first 40 channels, the last 10 channels, or all 50 channels.
5. The TX3400 is Aussie made, a better radio, and in my opinion, will help keep more aussies employed like you and me!

Have owned both.... Sold the Uniden on e-bay.
The GME is streets ahead, no -miles ahead! It's that simple.

Hi
I'm with you BPL & all who endorse GME 3400 its the "Dux Guts"
stick the unit under the transfer cover & the head on the center console
thats my choice.
Whilst the police scanner works OK it really is a load of bleep e,
why listen to something if you can't talk back, just a waste of time.
As Truckster said go to Prestige Communications

thanx for your imput guys, its pretty obvious who wins hands down, i like the bit about keeping our dollars in our own country......keepsmilin

what ever the radio the reception is more likely to be due to the anntena. Were and how you mount the anntena will stuff up any radio good or bad. If you want a good guide to were to mount the anntena go to GME site http://www.gme.net.au/land/choose_ant.html
for my money GME3400 wins hands down, and i have owned both makesDave

OK lets get serious...If you want a good radio and not one thats just cheap mass produced...GET A MOTOROLA!!

Only wish I could afford one, I have the uniden, works fine!!

Matt.

I have a TX4400 and think its great. One suggestion I was given, was purchase a model with the speaker in the front so that a) you can hear it and b) you do not need to have additional speaker mounted under the dash.

Consider also a GME TX3600. This is the commercial version of the TX3400. It has the 40 UHF CRS (CB) channels for TX and RX, and 100 dealer programmable channels (frequencies) of your choice - they programme them as receive (RX) only. BUT, if at any stage you have legal access to a commercial channel, either for work purposes or as part of say a 4WD club or as part of a formal emergency network, any number of the 100 extra channels can be set (by the dealer) to transmit (TX) as well. You then have the full set, an UHF CB, a UHF scanner, and a work/club radio all in one good box.
