    Like channel 22.
    That isn't just to do solely with 80's either.
    There are quite a number of 40 sets that won't tx on 22 either

    Transmission on Channel 22 on later model 40's and most 80's built by the better manuf's released into Oz is inhibited as a factory setting as it is an illegal freq for voice on the ACMA freq spectrum.

    it's because of the older 40 channel sets running wide band and the new 80 channels sets running narrow band. . . . you can hear the older ones on new sets if you turn your volume right up if that helps?
    Cheers

    I've asked this question a long time ago but may as well have another crack: I have an 80 channel, brought it brand new with a 3 dB aerial. All my mates have 40 channel and I'm lucky to catch half a word or anything at all more than fuzz. Even if I'm 5 metres away from the car that's transmitting. Could it be an 80 vs 40 problem?

    Probably not, unless, you bought an el cheapo set then Clunk may be right ;-).....
    A good quality 40 communicating with a good quality 80 neither station should have any issues at all
    In a group/convoy or whatever the 40 sets may be a discernably lower volume than 80's on an 80 receivers.
    That will vary from vehicle to vehicle as it depends on the individual receiver tunings

    Can your mates hear you OK with no interference, good clarity, etc if you transmit?
    Is the received volume OK but the voice modulation up to poo IE is their signal loud but unreadable or do you have to crank the vol up to max?
    Can you clearly hear transmissions from some/most other stations OK IE truckies etc?
    Can you find someone with an 80 handheld or even try a call for a "radio check from any other station using an 80" out on the Hwy?

    Bottom line, if it is "everybody" then the issue is probably your antenna cable run/connectors but if it is only 40's then the issue is probably in the deviation settings on the set itself

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Others can't hear me.
    The volume is fine but transmission is all fuzz.
    The unit is a good quality uniden but the aerial was a cheapy with its cable hard wired. I reckon I should just buy a decent aerial.
