That piece of string is four times the standard length!
For vehicle or person?
External aerial?

Could someone suggest the best uhf radio
Welcome to the forum Ian.Others may have lots of complicated technical advice but I've always had good results with GME, in both the Roadtrain and in my car in the back of beyond. Good luck with your search! Cheers
P.S Make sure that you get an aerial that is appropriate for your intended usage patterns.
P.S Have a couple of 5 watt GME handhelds, but not used yet!

I have a very good Oricom unit which has proven to be very reliable and pretty good range. Australian company too if that matters to you.
Bought a kit which included the aerial. Price was pretty reasonable too.

Everyone I know who has a 5Watt fixed UHF unit in their vehicle is happy with their purchase. I am happy with my $129.00 Oricom. A decent antenna helps. Also, I have a 5Watt hand held no brand that I use in the caravan. If you want heaps of options and accessories you will pay much more. Standard features seems to satisfy most users.

Icom - Japanese built quality & ruggedness. Used extensively on outback stations where thy are an everyday tool. Cost a little more than most but worth every cent if you want lifetime quality. In car & handheld. Once you have owned & used one you wont choose anything else.
