Fixed-mount UHF CB radios with advanced scanning

GME has introduced a range of Australian-made fixed-mount UHF CB radios with a five-year warranty and incorporating the ScanSuite scanning technology made possible with digital signal processing.

GME says that ScanSuite scans twice as fast as other UHF CBs, creates seamless uninterrupted conversation with a group of like radios, and skips nuisance signals while continually scanning memory channels.

At more than 40 channels/s, the TurboScan feature enables the radio to scan all 80 channels in under 2 s. Network Scan enables radios to have uninterrupted communication by dynamically switching to unused channels. Network Scan scans for other radios that share the same CTCSS or DCS tone. Once identified, the radios communicate on a channel until radios in the group detect the wrong code or no code at which point the radios will automatically select another unused channel to continue transmitting and receiving. This allows for Network Scan-enabled radios to continually communicate without interruption.

When scanning in open or group scan, the radio may continuously stop on nuisance channels. These channels may be temporarily skipped or easily removed from the scan cycle without deleting from scan memory.

The ScanSuite feature can be used by any type of radio group looking for greater privacy and seamless uninterrupted communications. For example, a 4WD group can enable ScanSuite and communicate with any of the group users, without having to know what channel to start on. In an organisational environment, and when programmed using the dealer software, ScanSuite can create a virtually private network of radios, without having to pay commercial licence fees or set up expensive infrastructure.
