It can greatly increase coverage where an accessible repeater exists, but it provides no benefit if there is no suitable repeater within range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eHow far will this UHF transmit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no single reliable distance figure. Range depends heavily on terrain, antenna selection, antenna mounting position, nearby obstructions and whether communication is direct or through a repeater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eWhat antenna should I use with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe radio requires a 50-ohm antenna system. The best antenna depends on your vehicle and where you normally travel. Different antenna gain characteristics can suit open country, mixed touring or more mountainous terrain differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eDoes an antenna come with the radio?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn antenna is not identified in the information provided here as an included item, so package contents should be checked before assuming one is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eCan I fit a larger external speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The radio includes a 3.5mm external speaker jack for connection to a compatible external speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eWould an external speaker be useful?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be particularly useful in noisy 4WDs, trucks and machinery, or when the radio body is installed under a dash or in another concealed position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eWhat do CTCSS and DCS do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey allow compatible radios to mute unwanted transmissions that do not carry the selected signalling code. This can make group communications more convenient on busy channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eDo CTCSS or DCS make my conversation private?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. They are squelch signalling systems, not encryption. Other radios monitoring the underlying channel can still receive the transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eWhat does priority scan do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePriority scanning allows the radio to monitor other channels while giving additional attention to a nominated priority channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eIs this suitable for a 4WD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Its compact size, full 5W output, microphone controls, repeater capability and selectable display colours make it particularly well suited to 4WD and touring installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eIs it suitable for tractors and earthmoving equipment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The UHF310 is well suited to plant and agricultural equipment where installation space is restricted, provided the electrical system and mounting arrangement meet the radio's requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eCan I connect it directly to a 24V truck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Its stated operating range is 10–15V DC. A 24V vehicle would require an appropriately rated 24V-to-12V conversion solution rather than connecting the radio directly to 24V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eHow much current does it draw when transmitting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specified transmit current consumption is approximately 1.5A when operating with a 50-ohm antenna termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eWhat fuse does it use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specification lists a 2A fuse for over-current protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eDoes it have reverse-polarity protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Reverse-polarity protection is provided by a shunt diode according to the specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eDoes it have over-voltage protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Voltage regulation is listed as the unit's over-voltage protection method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #00aaff;\"\u003eWhat should I check before buying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm you have a suitable nominal 12V electrical supply within the radio's 10–15V operating range, decide where the compact 100 × 94 × 23.8mm radio body will be mounted, select a suitable 50-ohm UHF antenna and determine whether an external speaker will be needed for your installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #dd1d1d;\"\u003e📻 FULL 5 WATT UHF PERFORMANCE WITHOUT THE BULKY RADIO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Oricom UHF310 is designed for installations where space is limited but communication performance still matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith full 5W RF output, 80 UHF CB channels, duplex repeater capability, open and priority scanning, 38 CTCSS and 104 DCS codes, microphone-mounted controls, a flip LCD and seven selectable backlight colours, it packs an impressive range of features into an ultra-compact chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 4WDs, touring vehicles, trucks, agricultural machinery and plant equipment where you want a discreet UHF installation without sacrificing full-power CB functionality, the UHF310 is an excellent compact solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ORICOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44549543690488,"sku":"UHF310","price":210.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/9230\/4632\/files\/UHF310-Micro-UHF-CB-Radio-Front-Image.jpg?v=1710310787","url":"https:\/\/www.homeof12volt.com.au\/products\/oricom-uhf310-micro-size-5w-uhf-cb-radio-80-channel","provider":"Home of 12 Volt Northern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
