Well, since im updating the blog…I should tell you about the purchase of the IC-400pro for my new Gu Patrol

As the series 3 (and before) GU’s seem to have bugger all room on the dash to install stuff.   I had previously purchased and installed an Outback interiors roof console.  I then did the research on which UHF I should get, and the IC-400Pro came out on top.  It was Military grade kit and was reprogrammable to push out 25watts (the norm being 5w).   The install was easy and a mate of mine already had the cable and software to reproramme. (Thanks Izy)  So now I have the option of using just standard 5 watt to transmit.  Or if Im in the middle of no where in serious trouble, I can now push a button and send at 25w.   All in all, very happy with the IC-400Pro.
