5 Tips for UHF CB Beginners | GME 

Bloody marvelous when someone explains it in plain english rather than trying to sound so pompus like.. Tnx bud, my family needed to hear it without my stressing impatient voice..😁 🤙🤝

Upvoted both for the content and the glorious beard.

Great video! Answered plenty of my questions. Thank you.

Hello Tony, that is an excellent video well done. The only thing that you missed was telling people not to talk on repeater output channels, many do especially rock quarry.

Excellent video. Thanks

Thanks mate, useful info

info I couldn't find elsewhere. thanks

Awesome videos super handy

Very nice presentation!👍

very good vidio

Hi Troy, well done on the UHF radio. About aerials, as you mentioned the base antenna is at the highest point, I have also noticed that other people use UHF radios in the horizontal state.

Thank you, this was a good video to start with. CB radios will be going off like a rocket in the coming year after all the disasters that made communications impossible. Best wishes.

Next topics, Cell Call Channels and how best to use them.

Thanks Tony. I have a new GME radio on my boat up in PNG. I can receive radio but I can’t transmit. I’m sure there is a simple thing I’m not doing 🙃

Can you make a video how to use SelCall please.

Thanks for the basic tips for us newbies. Question though: in all the videos which I've watched about antenna performance, nothing is ever mentioned about their reception performance, only how well they can transmit? I'm often picking up chat with a LOT of static. I turn the squelch up to cut out the weaker signals, but still the noisy transmissions tend to persist. Could you do a quick one on how to get the best reception from our antennas, please? Thanks

I might watch this video over the walkie-talkie in my car

I have Tx3550 can I monitor and communicate on two channels ?

gme viking knows

@jaytatty ready an waiting for that give away boss!

G'day can my UHF gme also b used as a scanner ?

I've always wondered what the line is concerning an emergency. If you have a car crash, that might be an emergency. If you have a flat tyre somewhere without a phone, does that count as a emergency and warrant the use of channels 5 or 35?

greetings from nz. are some of the top end Uniden CB ie UH755 are suitable for transmit from bush hills to another user being at home as walkie talkie? thanks

When making contact on ch11 do both people have to be on that channel first? Or will any channel pick up ch11 broadcast?

What id the 'F' key ? trying to operate the channel scanning.Instructions say use the 'F" key can you assist thanks

4:25 not receiving audio on our UHF just very loud static. We are not hearing audio from other traffic in the area (eg: road trains: pilot vehicles. The static overrides. Can you help. Near Michell QLd at the moment

It is not suggested to transmit on ch 35 as a simplex channel, in fact it is not ideal to use any repeater input channel. I advise to use ch 5 with duplex on. Why, the repeater hears you on 35 and re-transmits out on 5. Those listening on 5 will hear you but they can't respond as your listening on 35. Clear as mud :)

My new 6600 goes past 40. 1-39 then 41 etc. How do I get on Trucker channel?

I just buaght a tx 677 from Repco to replace my trusty 5 year old baofeng. I tried charging it in the truck through USB for two hours and then turned it on still plugged in, it worked for a minute and then it died as soon as ai pressed the talk button. Now it will only charge enough to turn on for a minute but then the screen fades out and it turns off or if I press the talk button it turns off..

I'm a beginner..I bought 2 CBs..I have them both on all the same settings yet when I talk into one it is not coming out the other one..can you help me with this problem please mate..thanks

Does anyone know how to factort reset a GME tx3350?

So CB radios are not designed for privacy but full communication? We can’t talk about private things since we can’t get on a private channel right?

Thank you a kiwi novice hear thoughts on a GME2720 as my first unit?

I think a great topic would be radio etiquette.

How do I select the channel I need

i have gme 3350 i am finding that it cums up tx err on the hand pice what has gone roung

Re Channels, also avoid using 31-38 and 71-78 as they are repeater inputs. It is a real pain having people operate simplex on repeater inputs, why not lock them out on new radios? Here in the bush people have no idea they are interfering with conversations on repeaters. John VK2ZJJ . Radio Rescue 39.

I own several GME radios, both VHF GX850 and UHF TX6160. They simple don't hold charge (the VHF is the worst). Leave them a few days without being plugged in and they go flat and can't even power on.

So why not have squelch turned up full all the time?

Good video. How many so called 'experts' watched this just in case? ✋😂

Oh god, even guys at work are guilty of point one, they start talking, then push the button, you miss out on what they first said. Of if they are just saying "yes" all you get is a click.

I thought channel 40 is the open com channel, not 11.

Damn u actually told them to put the mic near ur mouth.

Not all UHF Radio's are in Car's, How about some Homebase Stuff
