The 747
I've got a Uniden one in mine, dunno the part number but it has a remote mic on it which is awesome. Does need an external speaker though I reckon as it's not loud enough.... is it possible to play the sound through your car speakers?

Correct. Manufactured in Sydney; so as well as supporting the Australian economy Service and Support is never far away.

We have used gme a few times to fix faulty GME radiov - cost was resonable.
I use a RFI MOPLE Groud indepandant antenna mounted on my bull bar. see http://www.rfiwireless.com.au/mobile...l#.UVGPNRdTDTo
They have a gain of 4 db, and due to being flexable can handle a branch or bird strike.

Icom's are a great radio. They are commercial and Mil Spec radios. Extremely hard wearing and really difficult to break. The GME's are a great radio, but they are made to consumer specifications. The circuit boards in them are probably just as good, but they don't have the heat sinks on the back to help them cool (not that a CB should generate too much heat at 5 Watts anyway) or the heavy duty cases or faces. GME's are just thin steel cases with leightweight plastic heads. As I said, nothing wrong with them and they work great in most equipment (even plant equipment), but the cases aren't made to the same standards as Icom.
Regards,
Brian.

We prefer the Icoms at work - but also have GME's
Note I suspect the ealier Icom440 cannot be upgraded to 80ch's
The gme that was rated at 25 watts, would have its poer set at 5 watts for the UHF band
