Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this remote microphone work with the UH6060 or other Uniden radios?

A: No, the RM616 is designed exclusively for the UH6160 model only. It will NOT work with UH6060 (which uses RM660), X76, XTRAK 80, XTRAK 80 PRO, UH755, UH825, UH800S series, or any other Uniden UHF radios due to different connector types and control protocols. Even though UH6060 and UH6160 model numbers are similar, they require different specific remote microphones. Always verify you have the UH6160 radio before purchasing the RM616.

Q: What's the difference between "flexible control of all functions" and basic remote control?

A: "Flexible control of all functions" means the RM616 provides comprehensive access to ALL UH6160 radio features and settings directly from the microphone, not just basic channel selection. This includes advanced settings, menu options, special features, and all functionality available on the main radio unit. Basic remote microphones only offer channel up/down and limited functions, requiring you to access the main unit for advanced features. The RM616 eliminates need to touch the main UH6160 unit for any operation, providing truly independent complete control.

Q: What do the Instant, Call, and Monitor buttons do on the RM616?

A: These are dedicated one-touch quick-access buttons for frequently used UH6160 functions. The Instant button provides immediate access to pre-programmed instant channels (emergency or common frequencies) without menu navigation. The Call button activates selective calling or tone functions for contacting specific radios with single press. The Monitor button temporarily opens squelch to hear weak signals or check channel activity. Having these as dedicated buttons rather than menu options allows faster access while driving, improving safety and operational efficiency for professional users.

Q: Is professional installation required or can I install this myself?

A: While experienced DIY installers can install the RM616, professional installation is recommended for optimal results. Installation involves connecting cable to UH6160 radio, routing cable through dashboard, and securing microphone in convenient location on dashboard or console. Professional installers ensure clean cable routing, secure mounting that won't rattle, proper connector seating, and integration with vehicle systems for OEM-quality appearance. The UH6160 is designed for professional mobile installations, and proper microphone installation ensures reliable operation and professional results.

Q: Can I mount this on the dashboard without a bracket or does it need permanent mounting?

A: The RM616 is designed for secure installation and typically requires mounting bracket or holder for professional dashboard or console positioning. Unlike compact microphones with simple clips, full-featured remote microphones like the RM616 need stable mounting to prevent movement while accessing multiple control buttons during vehicle operation. Professional installers can provide appropriate mounting solutions for your specific vehicle, ensuring microphone remains secure and accessible. Temporary mounting or loose positioning is not recommended as it affects usability and safety while driving.
