INTRODUCTION
Your GME TX3220 radio is Australian designed and
built and is one of the most advanced UHF Citizen Band
radios available.
The TX3220 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 TX3220’s small size means it can be mounted in almost
any convenient location and its strong diecast aluminium
chassis makes it the most robust radio of its kind. With just
two rotary controls and four touch keys, the TX3220 is the
easiest to operate UHF radio in our range.
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 TX3220 has a transmit inhibit applied to channels 22
and 23.
