My tx 3100 will receive but not transmit I have checked everything I can get at and it looks fine I tried swapping handsets but no success
Hi Team, i bought the tx3100 and installed, the problem I have is that when i go to channel 19 for ex and my mate does as well he can receive me and I can receive him, but when I go to channel 2 set as duplex (showing "r" before the 2) then I cant receive or transmit but I can receive him on channel 32 when I scan, any idea on what settings I need to change the manual isn't very helpful
Hi have tx3100 in late model bt50 if squelch is on am getting static if off nothing. Have powered off cigarette lighter, main and second battery, tried earth throu both battery and chassis and chassis only, have installed suppressor all with no change any idea what might be cause? Thanks alex
Bit of a mystery this one, sounds electrical interference. Not had similar problems in my D Max, sometimes all sorts of problems associated with second battery wiring. Just bought a GME 4500s, brilliant. Regards Peter aka THe Bear
Thank you for your help Peter will take to electrian to see if can find source of interference. Alex
i found a lot of static if your magnetic base is not on a good surface
Hi guys I purchased the GME TX 3100 The other day and it was working fine. Two days later I go to transmit and I get this message saying hi D2. Any ideas?
All connections are plugged in properly
Sorry I am unable to help, so go back to where you purchased it from and ask them.
If it is a fault of the unit they should repair it under the warranty.
it could be a 24 volt system socket you need a step down relay to 12 volts
What is the transmitting and receive range for the tx3100 with 6.6dbi antennae .Cheers
Gidday Baz, as with all UHF radios, range is purely line of sight. With a hill between two radios, transmit and receive distance is limited but in open country might be 10 kms. Hope this helps. Peter aka THe Bear
Thanks Bear I thought it would around that mark appreciate the reply
Hi Baz, Further to the answers that have been given, they are what is termed as transmitting on "Simplex" which is on the same channel direct to each other.
THe Bear mentioned a hill. In specific loca...
I bought a extension speaker and plugged into only hole i coulsee but it kills the sound at unit and no sound at ext speaker . What am i doing wrong?
Hi, yep my extension speaker is plugged into the rear of my radio and is situated at the rear of my centre console.Works fine,suggest you speak to your GME rep. THe Bear
Thanks mate
Ive since found out the tx 3100 must use 4ohm speaker but others like tx3500 can use any
Guys my tx3100 powers up and functions appear ok but...... there are no audible beeps, no receiving transmissions, and not sure if it’s transmitting. Transmission line does come on the display though when mike button is depressed.
Any ideas?
as long as transmit line comes up should be ok. See if other operators are copying you. Check squelch is not up too high. Regards THe Bear
I was programming my 4500 when all of a sudden my channel numbers are gone
Gidday, I bought my 3100 from Bobs Tyres Hervey Bay(also 4x4 accessory dealer). He gave me the 'phone No. of the local GME distributer, I called him and arranged for him to program my CB. All I know ...
Read moreis that he did with a program on his laptop computer and he put all the Police and emergency channels for this area in. Hope this helpsI have not done any programming so I cannot help you.
I have a tx3100 it can be heard on other units but I can’t hear anyone?
Gday when turning on my tx4400 with or without the mic plugged in the signal strength goes straight to 9 and stays there. Any ideas?
Troy, no ideas why this happens, mine does not have a signal strength indicator. One problem that has started with mine is that the LED light on the channel selector is failing. The Bear
Are they 12 24 volt?
Dear Sir,
I have a GME TX 44000 tranciever plus a GME AE4705G uhf antenna installed in Landrover Defender, which has served me well since 2010.
I wish to upgrade this 40 channel with a new 80 channel unit. What are my options with a new 80 channel unit from GME?
Can I purchase the radio and mic only? If so, where can I purchase one in Sydney and what would the postage cost be if I purchased the unit on line. Can I purchase it directly from GME?
Cheers,

Look up UHF radios for sale Sydney on the web. There should be quite a few dealers in Sydney and surrounds. As far as swapping the radio over and using existing electrical wiring, You will have to che...
Read moreck with the dealer your buying from as the plugs might be different depending on the age of your radio. Your antenna, coax cable and plug for that will be ok.
If the Ariel is on the roof in a shark fin thing. what sort of range could I expect getting. I have a small coupe and don't like the idea of a 1 metre metal Ariel making my car look like an rc car
I use the 3 inch aerial that came with the radio. It sits on my dashboard and works for me.
Now that I have sorted which channels I want CB to scan. My question is does it do any damage to unit to have scan on permanently when on a trip. Thanks.
