Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP67 waterproof rating mean for these radios?
IP67 certification means the G18 radios are completely dust-tight and can withstand water immersion up to 1 metre depth for 30 minutes. The radios continue operating after drops in water, rain exposure, heavy dust and muddy conditions making them ideal for construction, mining, agricultural and marine work environments.
What's the difference between CB and LMR channels?
The G18-2TP includes 80 standard UHF CB channels (476.425-477.4125MHz) for immediate use without licensing, plus 256 LMR channels (450-520MHz) that are dealer-programmable for commercial applications. LMR channels require appropriate ACMA licensing and professional programming. CB channels operate out-of-the-box for general communications while LMR provides expanded frequency access for commercial operations.
Can these radios communicate with other UHF CB brands?
Yes, the G18-2TP operates on standard Australian UHF CB frequencies (476.425-477.4125MHz) ensuring compatibility with all Australian-approved UHF CB radios including GME, Uniden and Oricom. CTCSS tones and DCS codes provide interference-free private channels when communicating within your team.
How do the MA25M waterproof speaker mics improve usability?
The included MA25M remote speaker microphones enable hands-free operation without removing radios from belt clips. The waterproof speaker mics feature large PTT buttons for gloves-on operation, high-output speakers for noisy environments and reinforced cables. Clip to your shoulder or chest strap for instant communication access while working with tools or equipment.
