UHF radio interference

Hi guys, we are having interference problems with our both detectors 4500 and 5000 every time we either
transmit or receive. Has anyone had this problem.the radios are gme hand held 3watts.

Hey idigem,
I turn mine off and only use it if/when I need to,otherwise have it in stealth mode
or use your favourite bird call. 

I use Uniden H/helds (1 watt , I think, can't find the paperwork) and haven't had any issues to date when using my 4500. We prefer to leave the radio on all the time when prospecting so that your in contact with your prospecting collegues just incase you need assistance (to dig out that big nugget of course) or vice-versa.

have the same problem with my garmin rhino 650 gps/walkie talkie. but no problems with my uniden hand helds. one of those things i just put up with, sooner have the radio on all the time to.

We use the Rino-650's and have them on all the time, have never experienced any interference while swinging the 4500's?
Save vehicle & contact waypoints before setting off and it is then simple to find either or.

I have a 5w GME that I clip onto the back of my belt. I then have a speaker/mic plugged into it and run that up over my shoulder and clip it on my right front shoulder. I don't get any interference. You could also try dropping the radio watts down to 1 watt.
