WORDS: BRUCE AND MARG GOW,
BABY BOOMERS ON THE ROAD
WHICH CHANNELS
TO USE AND WHEN.
Things have changed for the better as far as
UHF radio is concerned. I remember when
Citizens’ Band (CB) radio was introduced to
Australia from the US and the units were the
size of a shoebox. Today’s units are much
smaller, making installation much easier.
Our current unit is a GME TX3300 with the
display in the hand piece and we are very
happy with the ease of operation, the size
of the unit and broadcast range. We have
never had a problem with it. Some people
do have problems, such as lack of reception
beyond line of sight, static problems, and
engine interference. Luckily, none of these
has been an issue for us.
