New UHF CB mobile radio with Master Scan™ technology

Announcement posted by Uniden Australia 30 Jun 2014

Uniden is paving the way in UHF radio communication with its new UH8050S UHF CB mobile radio featuring the new Master Scan™ technology.

The UH8050S UHF CB mobile radio is ideal for a variety of road users looking for an advanced DIN*  in-car mount UHF solution, including truck, 4WD and recreational drivers.

The latest innovation added to the Uniden UHF range, Master Scan™ technology, is designed to ensure minimal disruptions for continuous communication. This premium feature also has Dynamic Switching, which lets users retain constant communication by changing over to unused channels. This network scan function searches for other radios that share the same CTCSS or DCS tone. When the radio detects a signal with no code or an incorrect code, it switches to an unused channel when transmitting. By scanning only group channels, radios in the network will be able to detect and receive group transmissions, offering continuous communication without interruption.

Using pre-batched group channels also helps to avoid complicated settings by preloading group channels. The Lightning Encode feature is an advanced rectifier circuit, enabling the radio to decode CTCSS/DCS quickly. 

“As a leader in UHF communication, Uniden continues to engineer quality products offering advanced features that are both practical and intuitive for users. The UH8050S UHF CB mobile radio is designed to satisfy the needs of drivers looking for a highly-featured DIN in-car mount UHF solution. With the inclusion of Master Scan™ technology, we anticipate the UH8050S will be a popular and reliable choice for staying in touch with the outside world while on the road,” said Brad Hales, National Marketing Communication Manager, Uniden Australia.

Using Uniden's world recognised BearCat scanning technology, the UH8050S can scan unencrypted analogue UHF police, fire and ambulance frequencies, UHF CB Channels and user programmable channels at the same time. It also has 100 user programmable RX channels allowing users to select from 9600 receivable channels.

Featuring Instant Replay, the UH8050S can record and replay up to one minute of recent received signals ensuring important transmissions are not missed. The UHF mobile unit is also +12V and +24V DC power input compatible, making it a versatile inclusion to most vehicles available on the market. 

Built for rugged Australian conditions, the new UHF radio has been temperature tested to withstand harsh summers and is shock resistant for high performance, even when travelling across rugged terrain. For added peace of mind, the UH8050S is backed by Uniden’s five year platinum warranty. 

Other advanced features include a microphone and a built-in large LCD backlit screen for easy, remote access to functions such as volume control and power on/off. Users can also choose from seven backlit display colours to suit personal preferences and lighting scenarios.
