    Hand held UHF

    I am looking at getting a pair of hand held UHF radios and I was looking at the GME TX6100. Any thoughts or what do you use.

    Ive got gme 6200 and two gme 670s and all are great units the 6200 and 6100 units are much the same if i rember corectly ,
    Also if you get a 6200 or 6100 you can get a trickle charge adaptor that trickle charges the unit through the antenna mount location and it also allows you to use a full size antenna mounted on your bullbar or where ever you choose so it essencialy becomes a 2nd 5watt uhf and can be removed in a matter of seconds to be used as a handheld .
    This setup wont get you a full days talking in a convoy but can easily last a good 5-6hrs from memory as the trickle charge takes around 8hrs to fully charge a flat batt , i also have corded mic's for all units makes it alot easier scrambeling around in the s&?t with 2hands free

    Brad bought a pair of Uniden hand helds a few months ago - they work well for a day trip to the beach & we also took them to Neurum Creek. Not sure of model tho

    Do I need the new 80 channel version or is the forty still ok. Cos looking at the new ones in the shop they all say 80channel. But the one I got said 40 channel that's probably why it was 100 bucks cheaper.

    Don't need 80 Chanel unless the convoy or your mates are on Chanel 41 or above.

    going to look at hardwiring it or just keeping it full handheld ?

    40 is plenty, ive got 80 and never use above 40 unless on scan as not all of my mates have 80ch so we stick with what all can use naturaly.
