Oricom DTX4200 UHF Review and DIY Install

[@EpicDrivesWesternAustralia]

Your technical knowledge knows no bounds Cam! Good to see your keeping yourself “hydrated” whilst putting the vid together. 👍

[@colcomollatti5710]

If I could make a suggestion. Do not put the antenna cable through the grill itself. My reasoning is, if you need to pull the grill out on the road to access the radiator you can only sit grill to one side because of the cable. You cannot remove the grill completely out of the road. Does not sound much until you have to work around it.

Nowa days everyone has there arieal coax running thru there grills

[@cyclemoto8744]

Nice tip. Never thought of that. Now I'm going to need to check if I made that mistake! Cheers

[@rubydry8871]

Awesome video mate! Very well explained. I’ll be using this video to help me install my uhf next week. Thanks!

great review Cam ...I have always been a Uniden fan ...I have two compact models in my Ford Falcons ..and have a 30 year old Uniden UH 077 Sundowner that's never missed a beat that is now a back up unit . I also have a Honda Accord that I bought an Oricom 5 watt for a few years ago . It runs as good as the Unidens . So impressed I bought the twin radio tradie pack handheld 2 watters that came with a bunch of accessories and hard case ..Bit of a UHF junkie I'm afraid and have another bunch of Uniden , Digitech hand helds , three Retevis Dual band UHF/VHF 5 watt handhelds and two Baofeng 5 watt dual band as well ...It's a disease ...too many but it's fun . Looking forward to adding one of the hand piece display Oricoms one day . Oricom is a great Aussie company too . GME is as well and even Uniden have a strong Aussie content base .. lots of great stuff out there ... your new Oricom looks awesome value and a decent bit cheaper than the GME equivalent perhaps ..

Great video Cam, thanks mate. Just bought the same unit so will try to do the install myself. A few good tips about the install in your video.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate, hope it helps!

[@cyclemoto8744]

Thanks for the content. cheers

You could be better off installing the radio behind the back seat. As the controls are on the handset, you don't need to rob legroom to fit the box. A plastic pen is also good to push through the grommet, with the leads taped to it. Always use a proper crimping tool to crimp terminals, not pliers. Its important to have a good mechanical connection on the lead. P.S. I am a 40 year RAAF trained Avionics tech.

One thing it needs is an magnetic mike mount, once you’ve used then you never want to go back to the old style.

Great review Cam, I’ve been tossing up on a few different options but this looks and sounds perfect for us.

[@raymondkorbin3867]

I know it is pretty off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new series online ?

[@marvinrocco1213]

@Raymond Korbin Flixportal :)

[@raymondkorbin3867]

@Marvin Rocco Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!!

[@marvinrocco1213]

@Raymond Korbin no problem :)

[@flacky93]

Awesome shit man 👌🏽 love your channel great review and install mate i have the gme xrs in me np300 nav and absolutely love it but the oricom uhfs have came along way 👌🏽👌🏽

[@chuckberry7692]

I reckon fella it's a good idea to connect it to a accessory power supply like the radio or ciggy plug. Saves ya turning it off all the time🤘🔥🍻🇦🇺 Love ya work though fella👍

[@jjsadv]

I have mine hard wired, when out bush I dont turn it off. Never know when you might hear someone you can help.

[@chuckberry7692]

I do the same just by leaving acc on😂👍

[@jjsadv]

@@chuckberry7692 Yeh, If I did that I think the battery would be flat in the morning.

[@deanjackson1754]

Hi Cam Just a follow up question. Now that you have had the oricom uhf for a while are you still happy with it? There seems to be mixed reveiws about the brand.

[@WildTouring]

Yeah mate love it!

[@lukehutchinson6754]

I like the unit however would prefer them to go with a RJ 45 connection for the hand piece, much more flexibility in mounting options.

[@johnshand8109]

I am surprised that no observation was made on the long caxial cable which was pulled into the cab. There seems to be some controversy about whether the cable can be shortened (by cutting) or when not shortened , by coiling.

[@richardnightingale243]

Hi mate..does the oricom 4200 have the play back feature if you miss a call?

[@joychancellor2151]

Hi cam we are interested in buying a hand held uhf we watch all your utubes and want to know if the oricrom hand held would be good for us. Basically we are not 4 wheel drivers just need to know what trucks or vehicles want to pass. We love your videos and value your opinion . Thankyou

[@WildTouring]

Hey guys, the Oricom gear is great and I still run one in my new car and a couple of handhelds. My discount code ‘wild’ knocks off 15% from all that gear at; www.oricom.com.au

[@GWHAWK87]

The only issue with dual receive is the likelihood of your mates having a dual receive system is low.

[@andrewcumming6988]

Quality content!

[@philipw7557]

Nice one Cam 👍🇳🇿😎

[@LVNITUPM8]

Good unit the only complaint I have about it the speaker is just not loud enough for me I have it in the truck and with the normal truck noise in the cab it's just not loud enough. And it's in a brand new truck

[@adamjones2025]

First off nice video. But i would stay away from Oricom they are not known to be reliable and i know first hand. GME or ICOM are the best picks for uhf's.

[@323K1ELS]

Hey Cam, love your work... when’s the lap coming?? 11/19 now.. thought it’d be this year, I’m telling all my mate bout your channel plus my 4b club.. subscribe subscribe subscribe .. TOTALLY worth it.. cheers to you & the girls mate

[@veronicaisl]

Nice 👍🏼

[@Podge.]

Hi cam what cb would you recommend for a newby to 4wding that’s not to expensive

[@WildTouring]

You can normally pick up an Oricom UHF390 pack with an antenna included in the bundle for less than $300. Whatever you get, try to grab one with controls and speaker on the mic. So much handier!

[@Podge.]

@@WildTouring thanks

[@donfinch862]

nice review Cam. If anyone needs more info than that, they shouldn't be doing it. Hope she works for ya. BTW, is 6 decibel aerial the best all-rounder? Think that's what I've got

[@newport5504]

Had 3 mates with these all terrible on corrugated roads, they all got there money back, gme only way to go

[@ianm3172]

Newport ok did they fail or what ?

[@thomaswilliams2205]
