Uhf's did you know

[Bloodyaussie]

I was reading up on the old and new formats in uhf and it seems that those with older 40 channel come across very loud to those with the newer 80 channel and those with 80's come across very faint to those with 40 channel users???

Now there will be the experts who will pop out of the wood work now but on many trips of late including the last big one at Woods point the discussion as to how we sounded to each other was never met with any explanation.

"I could hardly here you" and " I had no problems hearing you but could not hear fred at all" was the norm on these trips.

They explain that this problem should be solved with time as more people upgrade to the 80 channel.

Gee never any mention in bloody 4wd action on there "Everything you need to know about UHF's"

Anyway food for thought when thinking about your next purchase.

Sorry BA,...what was that. Couldn't hear you!!!!

I've got a 40 channel and BA at Woods Point I could hardly hear you especially. Everybody else wasn't too bad.

I did not count on that trip as I had other issues..... shut up both of you!!!

Just installed all new set up and my god the chatter..... can hear for miles around.

It has not been right since I had the car, in my Rodeo I could hear and talk for miles but since owning the GQ nothing has been right.

Mostly aerial issues I think.

There's your problem right there. You keep telling everyone to shut up and then wonder why you can't hear anyone

Hey BA,

The newer models have narrowband or wideband filter settings - so you can change to wideband if you are communicating more with people on 40 channel sets. They also come with an auto volume feature which (since its a digital signal anyway) automatically adjusts the volume for lower volume transmissions that are received. There's more info on the GME website.

99% of UHF problems will be earthing problems on antenna, Check or run earth to base of antenna to earth on battery,
Should be able to bust this as fact or fiction easy, Who went and how many channels was Their UHF
