GME TX3540 DSP Compact UHF CB Radio LCD Remote Mic

The Australian made GME TX3540 is the flagship of the 5 watt TX3500 family, a compact UHF CB radio featuring a full function LCD remote microphone, advanced signal management, dynamic volume control, and 95 user programmable extra receive channels.

Product Overview

The TX3540 is the flagship of the TX3500 family, its feature set similar to the TX3510 and TX3520. The full function LCD remote microphone provides the ability to control all the radio's features in the palm of your hand, and is the ultimate space saver, with the microphone attaching to the front of the unit for obstruction-free use.

The TX3500/TX4500 series was among the first Australian radios specifically designed to the ACMA narrow band 80 channel UHF CB standard introduced in 2011, fully engineered and manufactured in Australia. The TX3540 retains all the key attributes long associated with GME's robust, locally manufactured radios, including open/group scan, SelCall, CTCSS, and DCS, built for the harsh Australian conditions where durability and reliable communications are paramount.

Full Function LCD Remote Microphone: The LCD remote microphone controls all the radio's features in the palm of your hand, attaching to the front of the unit for obstruction-free, space-saving installation.

User Adjustable Full Spectrum LCD Backlight: Full spectrum LCD backlighting can be adjusted by the user, with an auto-colour cycling option available.

Advanced Signal Management: Advanced signal management helps suppress interference for clearer, more reliable communication.

Dynamic Volume Control: Dynamic volume control automatically adjusts audio output to help compensate for varying signal strength.

Voice Inversion Scrambler: A voice inversion scrambler function allows more private communication between compatible radios.

Adjustable Squelch: Adjustable squelch lets the user fine-tune reception sensitivity to the operating environment.

Open and Group Scan: Open and group scan functions allow flexible monitoring of channels individually or in defined groups.

CTCSS and DCS: CTCSS and DCS tone signalling help reduce interference from other users on shared channels.

Duplex Operation: Duplex operation supports repeater use for extended communication range.

5 Digit SelCall with Quiet Mode: 5 digit SelCall with quiet mode allows selective calling to a specific radio without disturbing other users on the channel.

95 User Programmable Extra Receive Channels: 95 user programmable receive-only channels across 403-520MHz allow monitoring of local emergency services and other frequencies to stay informed and safe.

Made in Australia: The TX3540 is engineered and manufactured in Australia, built for harsh Australian conditions.
