Love my GME 1W Handhelds. Great little units, USB rechargeable, good range for a 1w unit, good battery life and very light and easy to use. Also love my GME TX3100 which was purchased originally as a Plug & Play kit but have since upgraded the antenna and hard wired it into the car. Just wanting to upgrade my 2nd in car radio to a GME XRS one of these days
Great share Tony-have just bought XRS for the car and a 2watt handheld for the friends who tag along with no UHF/navigator/Ngkala chat! GME is just super quality gear!
Depends on the person, if you are not too savvy with installs we would recommend using an auto-electrician to do the install and ensure it is done correctly!
Hi all just looking for a two-way for long distance as most of our driving is outback a lot of flat roads .as I have Pajero sports and not a lot of room in cab which CB would suit any advice welcome
Hi Dwayno, For this we would probably recommend a hideaway unit like the XRS-330C to keep as much space as possible in the cab, this would be paired with a higher gain antenna like the AE4702B or AE4018BK1 depending on conditions. If you give our friendly team a call on 1300463463 with some more info they will be able to advise a specific set-up!
It's hard to give a km range due to the variable on what the antenna it is paired with, the environtment around and more. But note the PNP solution has the same output power as the rest of the fixed mounts.
I've seen other videos about CB radios in Australia, I've seen also who use the 27mHz. which band is best used? first I was, as non Australian, a bit confused seeing CB radio on UHF, then I read that it was the frequency assigned. but just now I seen UA-cams from about a year old where they use 27mHz
@@GMEaus will it not cause unsafe situations, if someone goes out in the middle of nowhere thinking he has a way of communicating and than finding out that people in that area use another frequency band. still looks a bit weird to me that there are 2 types of free frequencies both called CB🤔
@@wilfredprins9718 not really. UHF CB is extrememly popular in outback touring and we always recommend that people take multiple means of communication, be it a PLB or Sat Phone as a back up.
Tony's beard is still on point.

Hey Tony, love the Beyond Blue coloured HandHeld UHF on the shelf behind you
You’re onto it mate 😉

Do most people install them themselves or get them through an electrical dealer that sells these products?

An old 4500 is one of the best they made....

Tony, does the PNP unit have approx 15kms reception?

Hi Wilfred,
Majority of people use UHF CB so we would recommend using that over 27mhz.
