GME's Advanced Signal Management System is an interference suppression feature that processes incoming signals to reduce the impact of co-channel interference — other users transmitting on the same frequency. In busy UHF CB environments (mine sites, construction, high-traffic highways), multiple users on the same channel can create overlapping audio. ASM helps isolate the stronger or intended signal for clearer reception. What are the 19 dealer-programmable receive channels? The TX3500 includes 19 receive-only channels that a dealer can program to specific frequencies within the 403–520MHz range. This extends receive-monitoring capability beyond the UHF CB band to other services in the broad VHF/UHF spectrum. Unlike the TX3440's 59 user-programmable channels (programmed by the operator), these 19 channels require dealer programming. Confirm available dealer programming services with your supplier. What is the difference between the TX3500 and the TX4500? The TX3500 and TX4500 are companion products in the same series. The TX4500 is DIN-sized, allowing it to fit into a standard single-DIN in-dash slot for a clean factory-integrated installation. The TX3500 is the non-DIN compact version. Both offer equivalent features; the choice is primarily determined by installation preference and available dash space. What is the slide-in mounting cradle and how does installation work? The slide-in cradle is a bracket that mounts permanently in the vehicle; the TX3500 radio body slides into the cradle and locks in place. This allows the radio to be removed quickly without tools — useful for vehicles where radio theft is a concern or where the vehicle is shared. The cradle remains in place; the radio can be taken out and secured separately. How does the 3-year warranty through GME's service network work? The TX3500 carries a 3-year parts and labour warranty serviced through GME's nationwide service network in Australia. This means warranty repairs are handled by authorised GME service centres across the country — not just the purchasing dealer — providing Australia-wide warranty coverage. Confirm current service centre locations with GME. Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

The TX3440 includes 59 receive-only channels that the user can program to any frequency within the 403–520MHz range. This extends the radio's receive capability far beyond the standard UHF CB band (476–477MHz) — allowing monitoring of other VHF/UHF services such as commercial radio, emergency services, and other licensed users in the 403–520MHz spectrum, within Australian regulatory limits for receive-only monitoring. These are receive channels only — the TX3440 transmits only on the authorised UHF CB frequencies. What is frequency band scanning? Frequency band scanning allows the TX3440 to scan across a programmed set of frequency bands (including the extra 403–520MHz receive channels) looking for active signals. This is distinct from UHF CB channel scanning, which only covers the 40 or 80 UHF CB channels. Frequency band scanning makes the TX3440's expanded receive capability practically usable. What is the MBD001 DIN adapter and when would I use it? The MBD001 is an optional mounting kit that adapts the TX3440 to install into a standard single-DIN in-dash slot — the same slot used by car stereo head units. This allows the TX3440 to be installed in the dash for a clean, factory-integrated appearance, rather than surface or under-dash mounting. It is purchased separately from the TX3440. How does the TX3440 compare to the TX3340? Both are ultra compact UHF CB radios with full-function LCD microphones, Selcall, duplex channels, and open/group scan. The TX3440 adds the digital signal strength meter, 59 extra programmable receive channels (403–520MHz), and frequency band scanning. The TX3340 includes the 80-channel upgrade path. Confirm current specifications for both models with GME as these may have been updated. What is the warranty period on the TX3440? The TX3440 carries a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, which is confirmed in the product data.

GME AE4005 380mm Flexible UHF CB Antenna Ground Independent with M10 Stud Mount A complete 380mm flexible UHF CB antenna kit from GME, the AE4005 uses a ground-independent design suited to fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic surfaces, with an M10 stud mount, 4.5 metres of coaxial cable, and a PL259 plug included. Product overview The GME AE4005 is a 380mm flexible black heat shrink UHF CB 477MHz antenna with 2.1dBi gain. Unlike the ground-dependent AE4001 and AE4002, the AE4005 uses a ground-independent design, meaning it does not require a steel mounting surface to form the antenna ground plane, making it suitable for fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic vehicle and vessel bodies. The AE4005 uses an M10 stud mount, which installs through a drilled hole and is secured with the included M10 nut. The kit includes a 4.5m coaxial cable and PL259 plug, GME part number PL2592S, a complete installation package. Features and benefits Ground-independent design: No steel body required, suitable for fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic surfaces. 380mm flexible black whip: Flexible rubber and composite construction with black heat shrink, more impact-resistant and flexible than rigid stainless. M10 stud mount with nut: Installs through a drilled hole, with the M10 nut securing the antenna base from below. 2.1dBi gain: Standard UHF CB baseline gain with a wide vertical radiation angle. 4.5m coaxial cable included: A ready-to-route cable for most vehicle and vessel installations. PL259 plug (PL2592S) included: The standard UHF CB radio connector supplied in the kit. Complete kit: Antenna whip, coaxial cable, and PL259 plug all included. Technical specs Specification Detail SKU AE4005 Brand GME Type UHF CB Antenna (477MHz) Length 380mm Gain 2.1dBi Colour Black (Heat Shrink) Construction Flexible Whip with Black Heat Shrink Design Ground Independent Mount M10 Stud Mount with Nut Cable 4.5m Coaxial (Included) Connector PL259 Plug - GME Part No. PL2592S (Included) Includes Antenna Whip, 4.5m Coax, PL259 Plug Compatible with The AE4005 is compatible with UHF CB radios with PL259/SO239 antenna input, fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic vehicle and vessel bodies due to its ground-independent design, and steel-bodied vehicles as well. Frequently asked questions What does ground independent mean for the AE4005?Unlike ground-dependent antennas such as the AE4001 and AE4002 that rely on the vehicle's metal body to form the electrical ground plane, the AE4005 uses an elevated-feed design that generates its own counterpoise. This means it performs correctly on fibreglass, aluminium, and non-metallic vehicle bodies, not just steel-bodied vehicles. It is also fully compatible with steel bodies. What is an M10 stud mount?An M10 stud mount is a through-hole mounting style. A hole of approximately 10mm diameter is drilled in the mounting surface, the antenna stud is inserted from above, and the included M10 nut secures it from below. This is a permanent installation method that provides a very secure, low-profile mount compared to magnetic or gutter clip mounts. How does the AE4005 compare to the AE4001 and AE4002?The AE4001, natural stainless, and AE4002, black heat shrink stainless, are compact 150mm rigid whips that are ground dependent, whip only, with a thread-based base rather than stud mount. The AE4005 is 380mm, flexible, ground independent, uses an M10 stud mount, and is a complete kit including cable and PL259 plug. The AE4005 is more appropriate for non-metallic bodies and installations where a flexible, through-hole mounted antenna is preferred. What does flexible mean for the AE4005 whip?A flexible whip is constructed from a flexible rubber or composite material rather than rigid stainless steel. This makes it more resistant to impact damage, as the whip bends and recovers rather than breaking on contact with obstacles. It is well suited to off-road, bush, and tight-clearance environments. Does the AE4005 kit include everything for installation?Yes. The AE4005 kit includes the flexible antenna whip, 4.5m coaxial cable, and PL259 plug. An M10 hole is required in the mounting surface, approximately 10mm diameter. A UHF CB radio is not included. No additional base, thread adaptor, or separate cable purchase is required.

ScanSuite is GME's proprietary digital scanning technology for the TX3120S. Traditional radio scanning simply steps through channels in sequence and stops when a signal is detected. ScanSuite enhances this with advanced modes including open scan (all channels), group scan (user-defined channel sets), and active channel transmit (the ability to transmit on the channel where a signal was detected during scanning, without leaving scan mode). This makes monitoring multiple channels faster and more practical in multi-group UHF CB environments. What are CTCSS and DCS? CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital-Coded Squelch) are privacy code systems. They do not encrypt the signal — your transmission can still be heard by anyone on the same channel. Instead, they cause the radio's speaker to remain silent unless an incoming signal carries the matching CTCSS tone or DCS code. This reduces interruptions from other conversations on a busy channel, making CTCSS/DCS useful in environments with many UHF CB users on the same channel. What are Digital Signal Processing and Advanced Signal Management? Digital Signal Processing (DSP) processes the received audio digitally to improve clarity — it can reduce noise, enhance voice intelligibility, and compensate for weak signals compared to an analogue-only signal chain. Advanced Signal Management (ASM) is GME's system for dynamically managing signal quality, helping maintain usable audio in conditions of interference, distance, or poor signal. What is the TX670 bonus handheld and how capable is it? The TX670 is a compact 80-channel 2W UHF CB handheld radio with a super-sensitive receiver and front-end filtering. It is a full-featured standalone handheld radio — useful as a portable companion to the TX3120S for when you leave the vehicle, for communication from a different location, or for handing to a passenger or team member. Being 2W, its range is shorter than the 5W TX3120S but appropriate for handheld close-range and mid-range UHF CB use. What is the voice inversion scrambler? Voice inversion scrambling is a basic audio privacy feature that inverts the audio spectrum of the transmitted signal — the voice sounds unintelligible to anyone listening on a standard radio without a matching scrambler active. It is not cryptographically secure and can be defeated with the right equipment, but it deters casual listening on shared channels. Both communicating radios must have voice inversion active and set to the same scrambler code.

It allows received audio to be directed to a second location on the vessel or vehicle, away from the main radio unit particularly useful on larger vessels where the radio speaker cannot be heard clearly from the helm or cockpit, or where the radio is installed in a remote location. The SPK45 features an 8Ω, 4W Mylar cone speaker with metallic dust cap and gimbal mounting for adjustable positioning. The compact 65 × 65 × 64mm enclosure fits in tight spaces. The complete kit includes the lead, plug, mounting bracket, and all mounting hardware. The SPK45 was referenced in GME's GX400 and GX700 marine radio documentation as the recommended optional extension speaker. A black version (SPK45B) is also available for the GX700B installation. Features & Benefits Water-resistant construction — suited to marine environments where spray and moisture exposure are expected 8Ω 4W Mylar cone speaker — Mylar (polyester film) cone provides good clarity for voice communication; metallic dust cap protects the speaker centre Gimbal mount with supplied hardware — adjustable mounting position allows the speaker to be angled for best audio coverage; hardware included 65 × 65 × 64mm compact enclosure — small enough to mount in tight spaces on the helm, cabin wall, or dash Lead, plug, and mounting bracket included — complete installation kit for a clean, ready-to-connect installation White finish — suits white vessel panels, cabins, and helm areas Suits GX300, GX600A and GX600D — confirmed compatible radios; check with GME for other models Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number SPK45 Product type Water-resistant extension speaker Colour White Impedance 8Ω Power 4W Speaker type Mylar cone with metallic dust cap Mounting Gimbal mount Dimensions 65(h) × 65(w) × 64(d) mm Compatible with GME GX300, GX600A, GX600D Includes Speaker, lead, plug, mounting bracket, mounting hardware Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With GME GX300 27MHz marine/CB radio GME GX600A radio GME GX600D radio GME GX400B / GX400W 27MHz marine radios (referenced in GME documentation) GME GX700B / GX700W VHF marine radios (SPK45B black version also available) Confirm compatibility with other GX-series radios with GME Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions What does an extension speaker do in a marine radio installation? An extension speaker allows the radio's received audio to be heard at a different location from the radio unit itself. On vessels where the radio is installed below deck, in a console, or at a location that's too far from the helm to hear clearly, an extension speaker can be mounted at the operator position for clear audio reception. The SPK45 connects to the radio's external speaker output and provides a second audio point. What is a Mylar cone speaker? Mylar is a polyester film material used for speaker cones in place of traditional paper. Mylar cone speakers are more resistant to humidity and moisture — a significant advantage in marine environments where humidity, salt air, and spray would quickly degrade a paper-cone speaker. The metallic dust cap protects the voice coil and centre of the speaker from direct water and debris contact. What is a gimbal mount? A gimbal mount is a bracket that allows the speaker to pivot or rotate on one or two axes, enabling the speaker face to be angled toward the listener's position rather than being fixed pointing in one direction. This improves audio clarity and volume for the listener. The SPK45's gimbal mount is supplied with hardware for installation. Is a black version of the SPK45 available? Yes — the SPK45B is the black version of this speaker, referenced in GME's GX700B documentation for installations with the black GX700 marine radio. Confirm availability with GME or your supplier. Will the SPK45 work with the GX400 or GX700 marine radios? The SPK45 is referenced in GME's GX400 and GX700 series documentation as the recommended optional extension speaker. The confirmed compatible radios in this listing are the GX300, GX600A, and GX600D. Confirm compatibility for your specific radio model with GME before purchasing.

The RM3520 is the replacement for the remote head component when it needs to be replaced due to damage or as a spare unit. The RM3520 is a remote head only, the TX3520 radio main unit is not included. Features & Benefits Replacement remote head for TX3520 series — genuine GME replacement for the control/display head unit of TX3520 series remote-mount radio installations Genuine GME accessory — manufacturer-supplied component to the correct specification for the TX3520 series Remote head only — the TX3520 radio main unit and cables are not included Technical Specs Specification Detail Brand GME Part number RM3520 Product type Remote head (replacement) Compatible with GME TX3520 series radios Includes Remote head only Weight Not specified Compatible With / Goes Well With GME TX3520 series fixed mount radios Confirm with GME for specific TX3520 model variants Weight Not specified Frequently Asked Questions What is a remote head and what does it do? A remote head is the display and control unit that can be physically separated from the radio's main transceiver body. In a remote-mount installation, the transceiver is hidden under the dash or in a storage compartment, and only the remote head is visible and accessible to the operator. The remote head contains the frequency display, channel controls, volume, and microphone connection. The RM3520 is the remote head component for TX3520 series radios. When would I need to replace the remote head? A replacement remote head is needed if the existing remote head is physically damaged — cracked screen, broken buttons, or water-damaged electronics — while the transceiver main unit remains functional. Replacing only the remote head is more cost-effective than replacing the entire radio system. What is the TX3520 series? The TX3520 is a GME fixed mount UHF CB radio designed for remote-head installation. Confirm with GME which specific TX3520 model variants are compatible with the RM3520 remote head. Does the RM3520 include the cable between the remote head and main unit? The RM3520 is described as a remote head only. Whether the interconnecting cable between the head and the main unit is included is not confirmed — confirm with GME before purchasing if a replacement cable is also required. Is installation of the RM3520 plug-and-play? The RM3520 connects to the TX3520 main unit via the existing remote head cable. As a direct replacement for the same model, it should connect without modification — confirm with GME for any configuration or programming steps required after replacement.

The bracket clamps onto the gutter lip, providing a secure antenna mounting point without holes being drilled in the vehicle body. This is one of the most common no-drill antenna mounting solutions for 4WD and work vehicles. What is the adjustable side attachment and why does it matter? The adjustable side attachment allows the bracket to be repositioned and angled to suit the specific gutter profile, vehicle body angle, and desired antenna orientation. Different vehicles have different gutter shapes — the adjustable design means the MB03 can accommodate a range of vehicles without requiring a dedicated vehicle-specific bracket. What antennas is the MB03 compatible with? The MB03 is described as multi-purpose. Confirm with GME which antenna thread types, base sizes, and mounting hole patterns are compatible with the MB03 bracket for your specific antenna. Does the MB03 require any drilling? The gutter mount design is specifically intended to avoid drilling — the bracket clamps to the vehicle's existing rain gutter. Confirm the clamp range and compatibility with your vehicle's gutter profile with GME before purchasing. Is the MB03 suitable for marine use? Stainless steel is well suited to marine and coastal environments where corrosion resistance is required. Confirm the specific grade of stainless steel with GME if long-term marine or saltwater exposure is expected.
