BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Most often used when on "road trips", camping (where other communications are unreliable or non-existant) and mostly importantly, in cases of natural disaster.
Not so long ago, Northern NSW suffered catastrophic flooding and the "established" communication systems failed ... Citizen Band transceivers to the rescue! A number of private citizens had these radios and were able to establish what in many cases was the ONLY means of getting messages out to the rest of the community - the internet and phone system had failed but these handheld radios "save the day"
Just like our trusty battery operated AM/FM radio, we keep one of these transceivers on hand "just in case" - nowhere in Australia is immune from these catastrophic events. Be Prepared!
This is a "general purpose" UHF CB portable transceiver for use by ordinary folk and a licence to operate is not required, unlike other radio communication services.
Designed by Uniden, Japan, this model is specifically for the Australian & New Zealand Citizen Band use. This transceiver was sourced (part of a bulk purchase in April 2025) through an authorised Uniden retailer in Australia - this is NOT a "grey market" device.
We had a client who needed a number of these in a hurry for their on-site communications and ended up with one transceiver pack left over - this one.
It has been opened only to check the contents and take an inside photograph or two - the internal packaging has not been opened (component wrappings, screen protector strip etc)
Of course this has the normal full manufacturers warranty (3 years)
There is plenty of information online about these portable transceivers but in short, they are tough, rugged, IP54 certified (splashproof NOT waterproof, but then who goes swimming with their portable radio?) with all the expected features from a high quality Uniden product - a well respected name in the world of radio communications for both consumers and professionals alike.
This product contains everything you need to start communicating with others on the Citizen Band in Australia & NZ. In the future you can even add (optional and not included) a speaker microphone so you can walk around communicating without holding the UH755 in your hand, just like the Security and Law Enforcement personnel. Another option that many add to a portable transceiver such as this is an antenna which provides more "gain" - meaning that you can extend the range of communication with these.
