162823 2003-07-25 23:23:00 I've been thinking about getting a number of these to use as a wireless comm system for concerts etc. What I'm wondering, is if I have an always-on headset mic, will that stop me from being able to listen to others talk? somebody (208)
162824 2003-07-26 03:59:00 Just a guess: yes. :D They will transmit/receive on the same channel. It's a PRS "personal radio service", aka CB. Just because it's UHF doesn't mean it's ultra high technology. Graham L (2)
162825 2003-07-26 04:12:00 I have read that it can be put into "Duplex" mode, but i'm not too sure what that means. somebody (208)
162826 2003-07-26 09:18:00 Is anybody who has experience in this area able to help me? somebody (208)
162827 2003-07-26 10:48:00 Hi Somebody: If what you have read is true, then maybe it could work for you.. as far as I know Duplex means transmitting both ways, i.e like on a telephone, when both parties can speak/hear at the same time, as opposed to "simplex" where only one party can speak/transmit at a time.

162828 2003-07-26 10:52:00 I thought simplex was only one way transmission? promethius (1998)
162829 2003-07-26 10:57:00 Right on Promethius, that is what I said..Only one party can speak/transmit at a A time.. Bazza (407)
162830 2003-07-26 11:13:00 So now Promethius, what say ? about duplex v simplex ?

I am not familiar with the Uniden tranceiver that the poster asked, but I do have experience with HF, VHF, & UHF transceivers, and as far as I know the facts of duplex & simplex are as stated

Will you comment, or maybe some other PF1ers could comment.

162831 2003-07-26 11:17:00 If you want n always on headset you need the 042 which has VOX for voice operated. Not successful in high noise areas, you are better with push to talk. The duplex refers to 2 frequencies and is used with a wide area repeater. Try channels 1 thru 5 on duplex to see if there are repeaters in your area. grb67 (4303)
162832 2003-07-26 11:43:00 We are still waiting Promethius ? Can you please explain your comment about "simplex" that differs from mine ? Bazza (407)
