25W + Remote head UHF

The current TX3800 is wide band only.

Steve, you may like to check again. It can definitely be set used in narrow or wideband ( 12.5 or 25khz)

There are many radios that can be set to 25 or 12.5 - on TRANSMIT.

They don't have two receive filters, so it'll be legal to use them after 2013, but you'll get interference from the two adjacent channels.

e.g. you're set to receive on Channel 20, but because you're using a 25kHz filter, you'll also pick up transmissions on 19A and 20A.

Mike, do you know if that is the case for the 3800? It appears that it can set each channel for narrow band or wide band for both Tx and Rx

But what is the right model? That's the 25W question.

My understanting is that they are advertised as 25 watts across the board,CB's mainly.
If you buy say a tx4400 in Oz, it will be 5 watts, buy a TX4400 O/S it MAY be a 25 watts.
My mate boght a couple of Icoms ex uSA and they where 25 watts and a lot cheaper, he just had to wait a while

The TX4400 is only sold in Aust. & NZ. It is also not capable of 25 watts.

I know that GME are Australian made and maybe not available overseas, i was using TX 4400 model number as an example.
Thanks for the info

You can get a 65w unit in North America

25 W UHF sets sold in Oz are programmed to reduce their power to 5 W when they operate on the CB frequencies. There has been 12.5 kHz channels in some parts or the 403 - 520 MHz band for well over 12 years so there should be plenty of sets that will be capable of operating on the new CB channels.

If you don't know the possible use then you probably don't know the answer to my question so i will pass on spending the time informing you, thanks. I'll have to live without your input regrettably.

What a stupid response to a genuine question to assist you Boobook.

I too would be interEsted to know your intnded legal use in Australia for the 25watt UHF.

You very much appear to be stalling and uncomfortable ti tell us what your ned and use is for 25 watt UHF is in Australia.

Giving you the benefit of doubt created by your responses..maybe it is legitimate and could be of use to others here.... so it's over to you again to be a nice gentleman and tell us what possible legal use there is in Australia for 25 watt UHF..? ...for you and us.

...otherwiae I would question your fellowship and why the owners of this forum are allowing you to discuss and foster an illegal activity... unless you wish to tell us the legitimacy of 25 watt UHF in Australia. I am intersted.

G`day Andrew,
My knowledge of this subject is rather limited and while I don`t wish to take sides in a debate about possible uses or the legality of using 25 watts of power I think that to suggest that Boobook is acting in any untoward way is a bit rough.
I have a UHF radio that is capable of being programmed to work on 25 watts, if I was to have it programmed to do so it would be because I needed it to be.

One possibility is, I may be asked sometime to use my vehicle to help a business friend who has a fleet of trucks, the trucks use the commercial uhf channels that work on 25 watts.
And it is legal.

If Boobook has a use for a 25 watt uhf then that is, IMHO his business.

I couldn`t care less what the reason people seek info on this forum for.

Regards,

Scrubby.

AndrewL, you may be upset that I don't tell you my use and as you say interested to know my activities, but frankly I can't see how it is any of your business. You don't seem to have anything to add other than a need to know my business and be suspicious of my activities. Frankly, the reason I won't post my business purpose is sticky beaks like you and IP containment.

The issues have been complex and way beyond my desire to communicate it to self appointed guardians of my legal welfare who have never met me. I would prefer to live without the benefit of your help. However feel free to remain suspicious, and upset that I'm not telling you the ins and outs of my business. Sheez.

It was nice to offer giving me the benefit of doubt if I outlined all my business to you. Of course we are so close that I would do that. I would feel much better telling the world my business plan so YOU can give me the benefit of the doubt on a legal issue you have no idea on.

Thanks but no thanks AndrewL. If you read my OP would could have wasted less of everone's time.

Hey...woo up Boobook....settle 'ol mate...we are not the Feds, or the Tax man....I don't think anyone is interested (or upset about) in all of your business/s mate, just the application of the use of 25 watt UHF in Australia is interesting, thats all, do try not to read into people's inquisitiveness as anymore than that.

You are avoiding the simple issue...now it seems for privacy issues of where you may be using your UHF.. as that is all the question is.

As for being a sticky beak, nice one, if you can't answer a simple question, throw some labels around..lol.. and use 4 paragraphs to do it...you have plenty of time it seems.

Andrew, it's not that I can't answer the question, it's that I don't want to, I feel no compulsion to report to YOU on these matters and do what you demand. It's N-O-N-E of your business, and if you feel that I'm not fair or reasonable in doing that, then that is your perogative. I am sorry that you feel that I've not kept you informed about my plans sufficiently. But of course this has nothing to do with my OP.

Stick to you guns Boobook as it is none of the Ooo! Ooo! brigades business what you want you want to do.

Thanks Dust-Devil.

This is a great forum but there are a lot of people with nothing to do other than tell you what you can't do from 2000km away, even though they know nothing about your situation. I thought I would get rid of those annoying "flies" with the OP but obviously not ;-)

What's a perogative?

You'll know when you run over one.
Dave.

That looks good. will check it out.

I would prefer a unit with the display and keys in the mike if possible ( sorry I wasn't clear about this in the OP.

X2 :-)
