IntroductIon
Your GME TX3440 radio is Australian designed and built
and is the most advanced UHF Citizen Band radio available.
The TX3440 combines the very latest in electronic
hardware with the most up-to-date computer aided
design and manufacturing techniques to produce an
extremely compact mobile radio with outstanding
specifications and performance.
T
he TX3440 with its Controller Microphone is designed
for unobtrusive mounting in modern vehicles. The radio
case with its built-in loud speaker and small size can be
mounted in almost any convenient location.
EMERGENCY CHANNELS
The ACMA has allocated channels 5/35 for emergency use
only. Channel 5 is the primary Simplex Emergency Channel.
Where a Channel 5 repeater is available, you should select
Duplex on CH 5.
Note: Channel 35 is the input channel for the Channel 5
repeater therefore Channel 35 should also not be used for
anything other than emergency transmissions.
telemetry channels
ACMA regulations have allocated channels 22 and 23
for telemetry only applications and have prohibited the
transmission of speech on these channels. Consequently
the TX3440 has a transmit inhibit applied to channels 22
and 23.
