Thread: Uniden Radios

We use ICOM's which are much clearer.
ICOM New Zealand: Marine

Have found low watt Uniden's quite hard to hear clearly on.

Only used them on the water so not sure how they cope with hills and bush.

You are not meant to use those from land unless you have a special license. They are VHF marine rather than the UHF PRS.

Yep, this is true I might even know someone who has an operators ticket They work good in the bush, vhf cuts thru foliage and travels etc better (laymens terms here) just like those old nasty Garmin Dog tracking units

Interestingly, having experimented a bit with both UHF and vhf, neither is superior all round.

I didn't realise that, guess I won't be taking them into the bush
