Looking for fixed mount/land mobile radios you can rely on in Australia? Oricom’s UHF CB radios are built tough for remote tracks, regional roads, and off-grid communication. Whether you're off-roading, managing fleet vehicles, or staying safe in regional work zones, Oricom delivers rugged reliability and user-friendly features backed by decades of local expertise.
Why Fixed Mount Radios Are Built for Australian Conditions
From outback stations to suburban streets, fixed mount UHF radios offer the stability and clarity you need for your car or truck when mobile coverage drops out. Oricom designs each unit with our unique landscape in mind: resisting heat, dust, and vibration while providing dependable audio performance. With simple controls and secure mounting, these radios are ideal for 4WDs, trucks, heavy equipment, and touring vehicles.
Australia’s terrain is as diverse as it is challenging, which is why reliable communication equipment isn’t optional; it’s essential. A fixed mount radio means no batteries to charge, no handheld units to lose, and fewer dropouts in signal. Whether you're coordinating convoys or staying connected during bushfire season, Oricom’s fixed mount solutions are ready when it matters.
Strong Design That Handles Vibration and Conditions
Each Oricom fixed mount radio is housed in a durable casing, built to withstand bumps, jolts, and long hours on the move. With easy-grip adjustment knobs or buttons, and with some models offering dust and water resistance, you get reliable operation day after day. It’s communication you can count on, whether cruising highways or navigating rough terrain.
Installation is secure and streamlined. Oricom radios fit easily with mounting brackets for a firm hold. The fixed design prevents the wear and tear seen in handheld models and keeps your unit protected from knocks and drops. If you’re travelling long distances or working in heavy-duty vehicles, this kind of dependability makes a real difference.
Smart Features for Easy Use and Clear Sound
Oricom’s fixed UHF CB radios come with practical features that make a real difference on the road:
- Secure DIN mount and bracket installation options
- External speaker compatibility for louder, clearer sound
- Multi-channel scanning and priority channel access
- Jog Wheel Navigation on microphones
- Large and clear LCD
- Some models include the unique “Dual Receive”
- Backlit displays for visibility in low light
- Power-saving modes and high-sensitivity microphones
These features ensure you don’t miss critical updates or roadside assistance messages when on the move. Drivers can monitor multiple and in some cases, using Dual Receive, listen to two channels at once. They can also switch frequencies quickly, and maintain communication without distractions. Built for simplicity, each unit helps reduce operator fatigue and improves overall efficiency during long drives or work hours.
Fixed Mount vs Handheld: What’s the Difference?
Fixed mount UHF CB radios are permanently installed in vehicles. Unlike handheld units, they offer:
- Options for larger antennas for greater range
- Highest legal transmission power (5W)
- Stable positioning—ideal for off-road and work vehicles
- Less risk of misplacing your unit
They also integrate more easily with accessories such as extension speakers and high-gain antennas, allowing for better performance in regional and remote areas. A fixed mount system offers peace of mind. Your communication setup is always where it should be, functioning at its best.
Find the Right Fit: Models for All Needs
Oricom offers a carefully engineered range of fixed mount UHF CB radios designed to suit different vehicles, driving conditions, and communication needs across Australia. Whether you're after compact control, dual receive functionality, or full integration with premium accessories, there's a fixed mount radio built to match.
Here’s a closer look at the most popular products:
UHF390R Controller Speaker Microphone UHF CB Radio
This unit is ideal for tight spaces where a full dashboard mount isn’t practical. Most of the brains are built into the speaker microphone, leaving just a compact transceiver to install out of sight. It’s a favourite for modern vehicles with limited interior space, providing access to all controls without sacrificing performance.
DTX4200XP Dual Receive Controller Speaker Mic UHF CB Radio
Perfect for users who need flexible listening options, this model allows you to receive two channels simultaneously, ideal for convoy drivers, fleet managers, or off-roaders monitoring multiple frequencies. With a rugged design and high-contrast backlit display, it delivers reliable performance both day and night.
DTX4200XPK Value Pack
This bundle pairs the DTX4200X with the ANU1100 antenna, giving you strong coverage and dual-receive functionality in one complete package. Designed to handle Australia’s variable terrains, it’s a smart option for long-distance travellers or commercial drivers who need a complete, dependable system.
Each model in the Oricom fixed mount range includes a 5-year warranty and is backed by local support. Many are compatible with external accessories like extension speakers, high-gain antennas, and replacement microphones, allowing you to customise your setup based on how and where you travel.
No matter your setup, compact car, work ute, off-road rig, or transport truck, Oricom offers fixed mount radios that prioritise durability, clarity, and ease of use. The range reflects real-world conditions faced by Australian drivers, helping you stay connected no matter where the road leads.
UHF vs VHF: Which One Do You Need?
When choosing the right fixed mount radio, it’s important to understand the difference between UHF and VHF. Each serves a different purpose and performs best in specific environments.
UHF (Ultra High Frequency)
UHF radios operate between 476–477 MHz and are the most common choice for land-based communication in Australia. They’re well suited to short-range use and perform better in built-up areas, hilly terrain, and around obstacles. That makes UHF ideal for:
- 4WD trips through bush tracks and valleys
- Vehicle-to-vehicle contact in convoys
- Worksite communication in construction or agriculture
- Road safety and emergency alerts
Oricom’s fixed mount UHF CB radios, like the UHF390R and DTX4200XP, are designed for these conditions. With features like channel scanning, secure mounting, and rugged components, they provide dependable communication even in remote regions where mobile service can’t reach.
VHF (Very High Frequency)
VHF radios operate on a lower frequency range (typically 156–174 MHz) and are most effective in open areas with a clear line of sight. This makes them the go-to option for marine communication, where fewer obstacles interfere with the signal. VHF is best used for:
- Boating and marine safety
- Emergency contact with the coast guard
- Open water communication
- Commercial vessels and fishing operations
For those needing marine-grade solutions, Oricom also offers VHF radios under its marine category. These models meet DSC safety standards and are equipped for GPS integration and weather alerts, giving boaters peace of mind on the water.
Which One Should You Choose?
If you’re primarily using your radio on land, in a vehicle, truck, or 4WD, a UHF CB Radio is the better fit. It’s legal to use without a licence for general communication, and the coverage is reliable for everyday travel or work.
If you’re heading out to sea, a VHF radio is essential. It’s not only suited to long-distance marine communication but also required for contacting emergency services in Australian waters.
