INTRODUCTION
Your GME TX3100 radio is Australian designed and built and is
the most advanced UHF Citizen Band radio available.
The TX3100 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.
The TX3100, with its front mounted controls, is designed for
unobtrusive mounting in modern vehicles. Its innovative features
include a built-in loud speaker housed within an extremely
compact case.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia
by the ACMA Radio communications (Citizens Band Radio
Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of
Economic Development New Zealand (MED). A General User
Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and operation is subject
to conditions contained in those licences.
The class licence for users and equipment operating in the CB/
PRS 477 MHz band has been amended. This radio meets the
new 80 channel standard.
In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available;
however, radio transceivers can now operate in a narrower
bandwidth and hence use less spectrum. These radios are
generally referred to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios. By
using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40
channels originally allocated can now be expanded to 80
channels thereby doubling the channel capacity and relieving
congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.
Original 40 channel wideband Radios will continue to operate
on the original 40 channels, however they will not be able to
converse on the newer channels 41 – 80. The newer narrowband
radios will be able to converse with all older 40 channel wideband
radios on all channels 1 to 40 as well as the newer channels
allocated from 41 to 80.
The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the
same spectrum can cause some possible operating issues of
interference and varying levels of received volume.
