GME TX4600 - 5 Watt 40 Channel UHF Radio to IP67

GME has recognised the need for a compact ingress protected UHF radio, resulting in the new GME TX4600 radio.

The GME TX4600 is ideal for any environment and is especially suited for use on quad bikes or tractors.

A striking feature of the GME TX4600 is the large tri-colour backlit display clearly indicating the selected channel, signal strength and many other selected features. The clearly illuminated push buttons include second functions.

The microphone includes channel Up/Down keys and a Priority channel button making these features a simple one-handed operation.

As with all GME mobile UHF radios, the GME TX4600 is designed and built in Australia and compliments the GME TX3200, GME TX3400 and GME TX4400.

The GME TX4600 can be flush mounted with or without the optional MK001B Flush Mount Kit.

FAQS

What range will a UHF CB radio give me?

Generally speaking, range for a CB radio could be anywhere from 1 to 20 kilometers depending on terrain, type of antennas used and atmospheric conditions. The typical range to expect from a mobile UHF CB radio is about 4 to 10 kilometers. Home base station setups with larger roof mounted base antennas will usually give more range than the ground level mobile units.

What is the best antenna for my mobile UHF CB radio?

This is a tough question to answer and there are 3 variables. As a guideline, the higher the antenna the better it will work. Mount your antenna as high as possible on your vehicle and try to get at least 50% of it over your roofline. It won’t matter what brand name, colour or style, the antenna length is more important than other considerations and it must be tuned for the UHF frequencies that you intend to use. The longer antennas will not necessarily provide better distance.

Do I need a license to operate a UHF CB radio?

No.

If all UHF CB Radios are limited to 5W and 40 channels, isn’t a $150 set as good as a $500 set?

NO. Its like saying since all AM/FM car stereos pick up the same stations, isn’t a $200 unit as good as one that sells for $1,000. Factors like receive sensitivity and selectivity, noise filtering and modulation quality will all be better in a more expensive model. You get what you pay for! Also, features like mic and RF gain controls, built in meters, noise blankers and more will also vary with different CB radios.
